The paper analyzes TE abundance variance in Mimulus guttatus and Drosophila melanogaster, finding overdispersion and developing a model to explain it through copy-and-paste dynamics.

The paper introduces a likelihood ratio test to detect changes in homeolog expression bias using RNA-seq data from Mimulus luteus and shows it outperforms alternative methods.

This study investigates genomic imprinting and epigenetic changes in hybrids of Mimulus guttatus and M. luteus, revealing altered methylation and expression patterns that contribute to endosperm-based hybrid incompatibilities.

The paper examines subgenome dominance in polyploids, showing rapid expression dominance and methylation changes across generations in hybrids and allopolyploids.
