Mind blowing.
The FTO gene is associated with obesity in humans. Plants don't have a homolog. What happens when you transgenically express the human FTO in plants?

Excited to share @noshjac's last thesis chapter research. Monitoring accessible chromatin and DNA methylation in four maize genomes. Reveals that a large amount of variable methylation is due to shifting boundaries at the edge of methylated domains

The data from this project is now available at MaizeGDB including 26 genome pages, ~1 million gene models, 134 BLAST targets, and JBrowse instances for each genome with over 1,000 tracks of data. @corncolors @mbhufford @GrameneDatabase @HirschCandice

Really nice work led by Qing Li and Jing Xu
Qing Li, @SpringerNathan and co profile DNA methylation across inbred lines in maize and identify examples of differentially methylated regions that contain information not fully captured using SNPs

Together with @bogdanoviclab @ryanlisterlab, we review the current knowledge on cytosine DNA methylation across eukaryotes @JMolBiol, based on base-resolution DNA methylome profiling from divergent eukaryotes with a special focus on the animal kingdom. bit.ly/36VwqmS

First it was apple color 🍎 , now they control chili 🌶 heat, are there any plant traits transposons don’t control?
Want a less spicy pepper? Allelic variations due to transposon insertions in putative amino transferase (pAMT) in Capsicum chinense contribute to quantitative differences in capsaicinoid content. doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14462

In this preprint biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… with Reza Hammond @orionzhou Blake Meyers, Candy Hirsch @SpringerNathan et al we provide a comprehensive view of small RNA populations in multiple tissues of a panel of maize inbreds and hybrids. Some of the key findings include:

Our latest preprint analyzing TE expression dynamics in maize is now online! We assessed per-family TE expression in >800 published RNA-seq datasets to identify which TE families are transcribed and how transcription changes across development, genotypes, and hybrids.

Retrotransposons are the major components of maize genomes but they are rarely seen transposing. This important study describes 30 new retrotransposon insertions and identifies lines that have high rates of transposition. pnas.org/content/early/2019/…
