This study analyzes genetic and epigenetic divergence in Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 laboratory lineages over decades, revealing substantial divergence and functional consequences.

The paper presents high-quality genome assemblies and annotations for three Capsella species, revealing differences in transposable element dynamics and establishing a genomic database for future research.

The paper develops a stochastic mathematical model of RNA-directed DNA methylation to predict conditions for stable CHH methylation maintenance in plants.

The paper shows that plant polymerase IV prevents silencing marks from spreading into protein-coding genes by modulating chromatin states through histone modifications.
