The green lineage is reportedly 1,500 million years old, evolving shortly after the endosymbiosis
event that gave rise to early photosynthetic eukaryotes. In this study, we unveil the …

The increase of publicly available sequencing data has allowed for rapid progress in our
understanding of genome composition. As new information becomes available we should …

Horizontal gene transfer, defined as the transmission of genetic material between reproductively
isolated species, has been considered for a long time to be a rare phenomenon. Most …

A library of 29 482 T‐DNA enhancer trap lines has been generated in rice cv. Nipponbare.
The regions flanking the T‐DNA left border from the first 12 707 primary transformants were …

The grass family comprises the most important cereal crops and is a good system for studying,
with comparative genomics, mechanisms of evolution, speciation, and domestication. …

Changes in gene activity through epigenetic alterations induced by early environmental
challenges during embryogenesis are known to impact the phenotype, health, and disease risk …

Long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons comprise a significant portion of the rice
genome. Their complete characterization is thus necessary if the sequenced genome is to be …

Background The plant miRNAs represent an important class of endogenous small RNAs
that guide cleavage of an mRNA target or repress its translation to control development and …

The family Iridoviridae of the superfamily Megavirales currently consists of five genera. Three
of these, Lymphocystivirus, Megalocytivirus and Ranavirus, are composed of species that …

Background Cost effective next generation sequencing technologies now enable the
production of genomic datasets for many novel planktonic eukaryotes, representing an …
