Transposons (TEs) account for more than 80% of the wheat genome, the highest among all known crop species. They play an important role in shaping the elaborate genomic landscape, which is the key to the speciation of wheat. In this study, we analyzed the association between TEs, chromatin states, and chromatin accessibility in , the D genome donor of bread wheat. We found that TEs contributed to the complex but orderly epigenetic landscape as chromatin states showed diverse distributions on TEs of different orders or superfamilies. TEs also contributed to the chromatin state and openness of potential regulatory elements, affecting the expression of TE-related genes. Some TE superfamilies, such as hAT-Ac, carry active/open chromatin regions. In addition, the histone mark H3K9ac was found to be associated with the accessibility shaped by TEs. These results suggest the role of diversiform TEs in shaping the epigenetic landscape and in gene expression regulation in . This has positive implications for understanding the transposon roles in or the wheat D genome.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading dementia among the elderly with complex origins. Despite extensive investigation into the AD-associated protein-coding genes, the involvement of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and posttranscriptional modification (PTM) in AD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we comprehensively characterized the landscape of ncRNAs and PTM events in 1460 samples across six brain regions sourced from the Mount Sinai/JJ Peters VA Medical Center Brain Bank Study and Mayo cohorts, encompassing 33,321 long ncRNAs, 92,897 enhancer RNAs, 53,763 alternative polyadenylation events, and 900,221 A-to-I RNA editing events.
