Mono-allelic epigenetic regulation of polycistronic transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in Trypanosoma brucei by Rudo Kieft, Laura Cliffe, Haidong Yan, Robert J. Schmitz, Stephen L. Hajduk, Robert Sabatini

“…Base J function in establishing transcriptional silencing, rather than maintenance, is suggested by the maintenance of PTU silencing following the inhibition of J-biosynthesis and subsequent loss of the modified DNA base. Therefore, we show that epigenetic mechanisms exist to regulate gene expression via Pol II transcription initiation of gene clusters in a mono-allelic fashion. …”

Genetic Diversity and Association Analysis for Solvent Retention Capacity in the Accessions Derived from Soft Wheat Ningmai 9 by Peng Jiang, Ping-Ping Zhang, Xu Zhang, Hong-Xiang Ma

“…Ningmai 9 had the allele frequency of 75.60% and 67.81% to its first- and second-generation derivatives, respectively, indicating higher contribution than theoretical expectation. Neighbor-joining cluster based on the genotyping data showed that Ningmai 9 and most of its first-generation derivatives were clustered together, whereas its second-generation derivatives were found in another group. …”
