A short thread:
CRISPR targeting of H3K4me3 activates gene expression and unlocks centromere-proximal crossover recombination in Arabidopsis
Nature Communications - Binenbaum et al. demonstrate that precise CRISPR-based targeting of a key chromatin mark (H3K4me3) can switch on genes, boost disease resistance, and unlock meiotic...

Friday Flower 007: Petunia 💮✨

Petunias carry the active transposon dTph1, which powers mutant screens and paints stripey patterns as it jumps.

Their five petals are fused, with diverse color designs tracing the corolla’s fusion seam.

Exciting news! A new epigenetic targeting paper in Nature Plants! 🌱 Congrats to Ming and Yan for getting this to the finish line! Explore the findings here: rdcu.be/eaCnk #Epigenetics #Genetics #PlantResearch #PlantBiology
Histone H3 lysine 4 methylation recruits DNA demethylases to enforce gene expression in Arabidopsis
Nature Plants - This study revealed that targeting H3K4me3 via the H3K4 methyltransferase SDG2 activates gene expression and removes DNA methylation by recruiting DNA demethylases. Conversely, the...

Friends don't let friends use boxplot for binomial (bimodal) data. Is your box plot hiding something from you?
