Abstract: Abstract To avoid negative effects of transposable element (TE) proliferation, plants epigenetically silence TEs using a number of mechanisms, including RNA-directed DNA methylation. These epigenetic modifications can extend outside the boundaries of TE insertions and… read more here.

Abstract: Accurate estimates of genome-wide rates and fitness effects of new mutations are essential for an improved understanding of molecular evolutionary processes. Although eukaryotic genomes generally contain a large non-coding fraction, functional non-coding regions and fitness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msz098
Abstract: Transposable elements (TEs) make up a significant portion of eukaryotic genomes and are important drivers of genome evolution. However, the extent to which TEs affect gene expression variation on a genome-wide scale in comparison with… read more here.
