Signatures of selective sweeps in continuous-space populations

Meera Chotai, Xinzhu Wei, Philipp W. Messer

This study simulates selective sweeps in spatially structured populations and finds that low dispersal leads to distinct genetic signatures, including reduced diversity and intermediate-frequency variants.

Single-nucleus RNA-seq reveals that MBD5, MBD6, and SILENZIO maintain silencing during epigenetic reprogramming in pollen

Lucia Ichino, Colette Lafontaine Picard, Jaewon Yun, Meera Chotai, Shuya Wang, Evan K. Lin, Ranjith Kumar Papareddy, Yan Xue, Steven E. Jacobsen

The paper uses single-nucleus RNA-seq to show that MBD5, MBD6, and SILENZIO are critical for TE silencing in pollen vegetative cells during epigenetic reprogramming.
