🚨 We've got a new preprint out 🚨 - We developed a series of logical frameworks for analyzing how transposable element content contributes to structural variation (SV) within maize 🌽🧬🌽. How'd we do this + what did we find?? - 1/11

Why do the same gene in different varieties respond differentially under the environmental stimuli? We seek to answer the question using both population transcriptomics and chromatin signatures.
Figuring out the promoter sequences that control variation in how genes respond to heat stress in corn using RNA-seq from 120 diverse maize genotypes. New preprint from @shanwai1234 and @SpringerNathan. doi.org/10.1101/2022.06.23.4…

Our latest: we use DNA methylation profiles to distill large genomes down to a small fraction of unmethylated regions (UMRs) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Really nice work led by @noshjac that finds evidence for a subset of TEs that influence regulation of nearby genes. Made possible by great collaborations with @Schmitz_Lab @HirschCandice and many others!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this paper a reality!
TE families display variable patterns of DNA methylation in flanking regions and polymorphisms reveal the contribution of preferential TE insertion and the potential for methylation spreading. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen…

In this preprint biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… with Reza Hammond @orionzhou Blake Meyers, Candy Hirsch @SpringerNathan et al we provide a comprehensive view of small RNA populations in multiple tissues of a panel of maize inbreds and hybrids. Some of the key findings include:

Our latest preprint analyzing TE expression dynamics in maize is now online! We assessed per-family TE expression in >800 published RNA-seq datasets to identify which TE families are transcribed and how transcription changes across development, genotypes, and hybrids.
