TL;DR: An unanticipated role for a class of long ncRNAs in activation of critical regulators of development and differentiation is found in human cell lines.

TL;DR: Insight into the genome biology of a polyploid crop provide a springboard for faster gene isolation, rapid genetic marker development, and precise breeding to meet the needs of increasing food demand worldwide.

TL;DR: A new rice miRNA is reported, osa-miR7695, which negatively regulates an alternatively spliced transcript of OsNramp6 (Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 6), and its overexpression in rice confers pathogen resistance.

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new stronger form of arc consistency, that is called existential directional arc consistency and provides an algorithm to enforce it and the efficiency of the algorithm is empirically demonstrated in a variety of domains.

TL;DR: A de novo assembly for the 375 Mb genome of the perennial model plant, Arabis alpina, revealed long-lasting and recent transposable element activity predominately driven by Gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposons, which extended the low-recombining pericentromeres and transformed large formerly euchromatic regions into repeat-rich pericentromeric regions.
