Evolution of Einkorn wheat centromeres is driven by the mutualistic interplay of two LTR retrotransposons dlvr.it/TBWlS5

How do karyotypes evolve? Turns out an intracellular tug of war within the metaphase spindle sets the limits for chromosome number evolution. Excited to see our study out today in Nature Cell Biology nature.com/articles/s4155…  1/9

This paper led by Dr. Atsushi Shimada is out Nature Plants! Centromere function can be dependent on a few TEs, and in RNAi mutants, small RNAs targetting these TEs are enough to reestablish normal chromosome segregation! Crazy! nature.com/articles/s4147…

Our paper about TE's regulatory functions using ENCODE data has been published! nature.com/articles/s4146… Ting Wang Cedric🧬➰🧬Feschotte We confirmed TEs contributed 25% of regulatory elements in the human genome. We also investigated how different TEs contributed differently. /1

How TEs gain and lose between tropical and temperate maize inbreds? We found that tropical corns have 35Mb more TEs than temperates, and it's mainly due to a small number of LTR families that are young, less methylated, and more expressed in tropical maize.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39251347/
