DNA Modification Patterns within the Transposable Elements of the Fig (<i>Ficus carica</i> L.) Genome

DNA Modification Patterns within the Transposable Elements of the Fig (<i>Ficus carica</i> L.) Genome

Transposable element activity can be harmful to the host’s genome integrity, but it can also provide selective advantages. One strategy to cope with transposons is epigenetic control through DNA base modifications. We report the non-canonic DNA modification dynamics of fig (<i>Ficus carica<...
