New OA Article: "Major alleles of CDCA7 shape CG methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana" rdcu.be/ePaOY

GWAS identifies CDCA7 as a regulator of DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana . CDCA7 binds the chromatin remodeller DDM1 and modulates the control of CG methylation.

New paper! Work led by @p-bourguet.bsky.social and Frédéric Berger at the GMI of the @oeaw.bsky.social and @esasaki007.bsky.social identified how protein CDCA7 helps plants stably maintain epigenetic modifications across generations.

We discovered an endogenous retrovirus that's still spreading in natural D. melanogaster populations! It was horizontally transferred from D. erecta in Central Africa, so we named it "Kuruka", which means "jump" in Swahili. Read its cool story here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Have folks had the chance to try out the free-to-use OpenCRISPR yet?

It seems to offer a great alternative for cash-strapped startups.

August’s Nature Plants cover story shows how we integrated large-scale multiDAP and snRNA data to reveal drivers of cell type identity and evolution in flowering plants. www.nature.com/nplants/volu... We packed a lot into this paper! Here’s a single-cell spin on what we found:
Nature Plants - Cistromes uncovered
Transcription factors (TFs) have specific patterns of binding to gene promoter regions, which have similarities and differences within TF families and...

Plants repress ROS1 expression to attenuate heat-induced transposon burst - Nature Plants
Plants suppress the DNA demethylase ROS1 under heat stress to limit transposon activation, preventing genome instability. This conserved mechanism balances stress adaptation with genome protection.
