In 2024, the main paper from our collaboration with Frank's group appeared on BioRxiv:

With this week's BioRxiv submission, that's four exciting papers from what was, in some respects, a failed experiment.
Multi-generational biotic stress increases the rate of spontaneous epimutations in a ROS1-dependent manner
Mistakes in the maintenance of CG methylation are a source of spontaneous epimutations in plants that can be inherited across generations. The extent to which these stochastic events are affected by p...
