Evolutionary inference across eukaryotes identifies specific pressures favoring mitochondrial gene retention

Iain G Johnston, Ben P Williams

The paper uses a new method to analyze mitochondrial gene retention across eukaryotes and identifies factors like GC content, protein hydrophobicity, and functional roles that influence gene retention.

Methylation-sensitive expression of a DNA demethylase gene serves as an epigenetic rheostat

Ben P Williams, Daniela Pignatta, Steven Henikoff, Mary Gehring

The paper shows that DNA methylation promotes ROS1 expression, acting as an epigenetic rheostat to balance methylation and demethylation activities in Arabidopsis.
