This study shows that PTGS is not required for the initiation of epigenetic silencing of an active transposon in Arabidopsis.

The paper investigates leptospirosis transmission among brown rats in Boston, finding high genetic structure and limited dispersal, with Leptospira clades linked to specific rat populations and a human case linked to rats.

This study finds high prevalence of Leptospira antibodies and DNA in domestic dogs from Amazonian communities, suggesting their role in Leptospira cycling and transmission.

This study examines TE silencing mechanisms in Spirodela polyrhiza, finding reduced RdDM activity and distinct epigenetic marks compared to other angiosperms.
