Rapid advances in DNA synthesis techniques have made it possible to engineer viruses,
biochemical pathways and assemble bacterial genomes. Here, we report the synthesis of a …

Cytosine methylation of repetitive sequences is widespread in plant genomes, occurring in
both symmetric (CpG and CpNpG) as well as asymmetric sequence contexts. We used the …

… , which demonstrates that DNA methylation differences can be stably inherited over at least
eight generations in the absence of extensive DNA sequence polymorphisms and with no …

… to long-term nitrogen (N)-deficient growth conditions at two important stages of plant
development have been studied. The impact of N deficiency was examined at the transcriptomic, …

… We found no substantial correlation between telomere length and ploidy, heterozygosity
or ecology (Extended Data Fig. 5b–d). We also examined telomere length variation between …

… The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or
… of the mutants TR3, TE7 and bacA showed no signs of differentiation by elongation and the …

… No axonal specific staining was performed in this study. However, taking into account that
neurons are polarized cells with multiple dendrites and a single axon, these results suggest …

… We found no correlation between genome size and either the number of genes, the
cumulative size of coding sequences, or the transposable element content. However, we found a …

… Meiosis is the cell division where a diploid cell gives rise to four haploid gametes through
two rounds of chromosome segregation with no intervening replication. The prophase of the …

… It can be the dominant species in sourdough, even in bakeries where no industrial starter is
used, suggesting that the species may colonize a sourdough from the bakery’s environment …
