K-mer counting and curated libraries drive efficient annotation of repeats in plant genomes

Bruno Contreras-Moreira et al.

Summary: Annotation of repetitive sequences within plant genomes is crucial for interpretation of observed phenotypes, and k-mer strategies for mask-based annotation are significantly faster than homology-based methods. Testing a two-step approach for repeat annotation showed promising results, with shorter repeated elements compared to direct sequence homology.

Conserved noncoding sequences provide insights into regulatory sequence and loss of gene expression in maize

Baoxing Song et al.

Summary: Thousands of species are set to be sequenced in the coming years, and understanding the functionality of their genomes requires molecular and evolutionary approaches. A study focusing on the Andropogoneae tribe, which includes multiple crop species, revealed highly conserved noncoding sequences rich in functional elements. These findings shed light on the evolution and functional significance of CNSs in maize.

Accessible chromatin regions and their functional interrelations with gene transcription and epigenetic modifications in sorghum genome

Chao Zhou et al.

Summary: This study identified 21,077 ACRs in the sorghum genome, characterized their distribution on gene structures, and explored the correlations between ACRs and gene expression levels. Results revealed an intricate crosstalk among ACRs, gene expression, and epigenetic marks, shedding new light on their roles in transcriptional regulation.
