This study identifies and characterizes NF-Y transcription factors involved in rice endosperm development, showing sub-functionalization and interaction patterns among subunits.

This study identifies 208 imprinted genes in rice, showing limited transposable element association, intraspecific variation, and conservation of imprinting at some loci across plant species.

This study investigates the structure of natural chromatin in vitro using cryo-ET, showing it forms compact masses with rare 30-nm fibers and is sensitive to divalent cations and histone modifications.

The paper identifies a lncRNA/miRNA/DNA methylation axis that regulates the timing of stem cell state transition from naive pluripotency.

The paper compares mutation rate determinants in germline and somatic tissues, finding shared factors but contrasting effects of expression levels on mutation rates in ovaries/testes versus tumors.
