This study generates a transcriptomic atlas of Bostrychia moritziana to investigate the regulatory architecture and evolution of its triphasic life cycle, revealing modular gene regulation and evolutionary integration of developmental programs.

The paper examines chromatin regulation in brown algae, showing loss of canonical silencing systems and emergence of H3K79 methylation as a repressive mechanism.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Bostrychia moritziana, revealing genome size expansion and genetic adaptations in red algae.

The paper investigates the evolution of epigenetic regulatory networks in land plants by analyzing epigenomes across the green lineage and identifying the role of PRC2 in gene silencing and network formation.

The paper maps the 3D chromatin structure of sex chromosomes in the brown alga Ectocarpus, revealing their spatial organization and links to gene expression and sex determination.

This study investigates the genetic and molecular interactions between U and V sex chromosomes in the brown alga Ectocarpus across its life cycle, revealing developmental regulation and histone modifications in the diploid sporophyte stage.
