DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) are accessible chromatin regions hypersensitive to cleavages by DNase I endonucleases. DHSs are indicative of cis-regulatory DNA elements (CREs), all of which play important roles in global gene expression regulati...
There are currently 151 plants with draft genomes available but levels of functional annotation for putative protein products are low. Therefore, accurate computational predictions are essential to annotate genomes in the first instance, and to provi...
BACKGROUND: Vitis vinifera (Grapevine) is the most important fruit species in the modern world. Wine and table grapes sales contribute significantly to the economy of major wine producing countries. The most relevant goals in wine production concern ...
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic occurrence that results in the expression of alleles specific to the parent of origin, plays pivotal roles in plant development, stress adaptation, and agronomic trait regulation. While imprinting has been intensiv...
Breeding for low deoxynivalenol (DON) mycotoxin content in wheat is challenging due to the complexity of the trait and phenotyping limitations. Since phenomic prediction relies on nonadditive effects and genomic prediction on additive effects, their ...
Genomic selection (GS) is a predictive plant and animal methodology that allows the selection of plants and animals based on predictions without the need to measure the phenotype. However, its practical application requires challenging prediction acc...
Climate change induces many abiotic stresses, including soil salinity, significantly challenging global agriculture. Salinity stress tolerance (SST) is a complex trait, both physiologically and genetically, and is conferred at various levels of plant...
For important food crops such as the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.), global demand continues to outpace the rate of genetic gain for quantitative traits. In this study, we leveraged the multi-environment trial (MET) dataset from the cooperative...
Genomic selection (GS) emerged as a key part of the solution to ensure the food supply for the growing human population thanks to advances in genotyping and other enabling technologies and improved understanding of the genotype-phenotype relationship...
Plant DNA methylation changes occur hundreds to thousands of times faster than DNA mutations and can be transmitted transgenerationally, making them useful for studying population-scale patterns in clonal or selfing species. However, a state-of-the-a...
