• Genome-wide identification of MITE-derived microRNAs and their targets in bread wheat 

      Crescente, Juan Manuel; Zavallo, Diego; Del Vas, Mariana; Asurmendi, Sebastian; Helguera, Marcelo; Fernandez, Elmer; Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian (BioMed Central, 2022-02)
      Background: Plant miRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that can repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by targeting RNA degradation or promoting translational repression. There is increasing ...
    • Genomic re-assessment of the transposable element landscape of the potato genome 

      Zavallo, Diego; Crescente, Juan Manuel; Gantuz, Magdalena; Leone, Melisa; Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian; Masuelli, Ricardo Williams; Asurmendi, Sebastian (Springer, 2020-05)
      Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences with the ability to autoreplicate and move throughout the host genome. TEs are major drivers in stress response and genome evolution. Given their significance, the development ...
