ABSTRACT
The expanding scope and scale of next generation sequencing experiments in ecological plant epigenetics brings new challenges for computational analysis. Existing tools built for model data may not address the needs of users looking to apply these techniques to non-model species, particularly on a population or community level. Here we present a toolkit suitable for plant ecologists working with whole genome bisulfite sequencing; it includes pipelines for mapping, the calling of methylation values and differential methylation between groups, epigenome-wide association studies, and a novel implementation for both variant calling and discriminating between genetic and epigenetic variation.

The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...03-03-2025, 01:39 PM -
The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...02-24-2025, 06:31 AM
