Experiments in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis show a role of gene body methylation in transposable element suppression and that epigenetic inheritance is constrained by chromatin context and tra...

Rodriguez-Algarra et al. present an analysis of the prevalence of ribosomal DNA variants in UK Biobank participants, revealing associations with multiple human complex traits. Notably, a cluster of human-specific variants in expansion segment 15L, which are incorporated into ribosomes, associate with body size traits, such as height and weight.

Long-read sequencing in 18 unicellular eukaryotes reveals that 6mA is widespread across eukaryotes and is enriched at transcriptionally permissive regions, which are also marked by H3K4me3.

The ribosome is one of the core macromolecules in the cell. The ribosomal RNAs (rRNA), which are essential components of the ribosome, are coded by the multi-copy ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Despite its hig...

Genetic variation within the multi-copy, multi-locus ribosomal DNA (rDNA) can contribute to human complex trait variability. This variation takes the form of copy number, structural arrangement, and ...
