This study compares how genomic and epigenomic relationships contribute to genotype-by-environment interaction in grapevine clones, finding that epigenomic factors capture more GEI variance than genomic factors.

UMR-seq reveals epigenetic variation in plant hypomethylomes, showing UMRs are enriched in regulatory loci and improve genomic prediction and trait association mapping in wheat.

The paper constructs a chromosome-scale super-pangenome for the lichen genus Peltigera, revealing shared genomic features between pathogenic and mutualistic fungi.

This study evaluates how hyperspectral reflectance from different grapevine organs predicts cluster architecture and juice quality traits, finding that cluster reflectance outperforms leaf reflectance for most traits.

This paper maps clonal genetic and epigenetic variation in grapevine using a phased diploid genome and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, showing that CG methylation patterns accurately reconstruct clonal phylogeny.
