High genetic and epigenetic variation of transposable elements: Potential drivers to rapid adaptive evolution for the noxious invasive weed Mikania micrantha
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8075
Abstract: Abstract Why invasive species can rapidly adapt to novel environments is a puzzling question known as the genetic paradox of invasive species. This paradox is explainable in terms of transposable elements (TEs) activity, which are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-9865-4_10
Abstract: Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is a technique used for the analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation patterns (DNA methylomes) at a single-base resolution. Here, I describe a simple DNA extraction method from rice endosperm and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-55989-6
Abstract: The evolutionary impact of epigenetic variation depends on its transgenerational stability and source - whether genetically determined, environmentally induced, or due to spontaneous, genotype-independent mutations. Here, we evaluate current approaches for investigating an independent role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-56569-4
Abstract: Understanding the interaction between genetic and epigenetic variation remains a challenge due to confounding environmental factors. We propose that human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are an excellent model to study the relationship between genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcac139
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Invasive plants often colonize wide-ranging geographical areas with various local microenvironments. The specific roles of epigenetic and genetic variation during such expansion are still unclear. Chenopodium ambrosioides is a well-known invasive alien… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msx166
Abstract: Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation or histone modifications, can be transmitted between cellular or organismal generations. However, there are no experiments measuring their role in adaptation, so here we use experimental evolution to investigate… read more here.

The impact of environment on genetic and epigenetic variation in Trifolium pratense populations from two contrasting semi-natural grasslands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.211406
Abstract: Central European grasslands, such as calcareous grasslands and oat-grass meadows, are characterized by diverse environmental conditions and management regimes. Therefore, we aimed to determine potential differences in genetic and epigenetic variation patterns between the contrasting… read more here.

Genetic and environmental drivers of large-scale epigenetic variation in Thlaspi arvense
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLOS Genetics"
DOI: 10.1101/2022.03.16.484610
Abstract: Natural plant populations often harbour substantial heritable variation in DNA methylation. However, a thorough understanding of the genetic and environmental drivers of this epigenetic variation requires large-scale and high-resolution data, which currently exist only for… read more here.
