Bamboo is widely distributed in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. As a major non-wood
forest product and wood substitute, bamboo is of increasing interest to ecologists owing …

The laboratory mouse shares the majority of its protein-coding genes with humans, making
it the premier model organism in biomedical research, yet the two mammals differ in …

Drought-induced tree mortality is expected to increase worldwide under projected future
climate changes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . The Canadian boreal forests, which occupy about 30% of the …

Transposable elements (TEs) have been shown to contain functional binding sites for certain
transcription factors (TFs). However, the extent to which TEs contribute to the evolution of …

To complement the human Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and to enable
a broad range of mouse genomics efforts, the Mouse ENCODE Consortium is applying the …

The boreal forests, identified as a critical “tipping element” of the Earth's climate system, play
a critical role in the global carbon budget. Recent findings have suggested that terrestrial …

To broaden our understanding of the evolution of gene regulation mechanisms, we
generated occupancy profiles for 34 orthologous transcription factors (TFs) in human–mouse …

The rapid growth of sequencing technologies has greatly contributed to our understanding
of human genetics. Yet, despite this growth, mainstream technologies have not been fully …

A forest plot with a clustered spatial pattern of tree locations was used to investigate the
impacts of different kernel functions (fixed vs. adaptive) and different sizes of bandwidth on …

The senescence of mammalian cells is characterized by a proliferative arrest in response to
stress and the expression of an inflammatory phenotype. Here we show that histone H2A.J, …
