The paper identifies over 200 new mobile transposable element families in Arabidopsis thaliana using pangenomic analysis, showing they contribute to large-effect alleles despite being rare in most strains.

The paper curates and presents a collection of long-read genome assemblies for Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to enhance plant genome research.

The paper shows that transposable elements can transmit epigenetic changes across generations in Arabidopsis thaliana, often near stress-responsive genes, and these changes can affect gene expression and be subject to selection.
