A new study is uncovering how DNA organizes and replicates itself inside maize cells — revealing a hidden layer of genome architecture that could influence crop resilience and gene regulation.

Using high-throughput sequencing, 3D microscopy, and supercomputing resources from the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), researchers from Florida State University and North Carolina State University analyzed 1.3 billion sequencing reads across the maize genome.

The findings suggest that DNA replication timing may help control how genes are regulated in plants.

“This could mean that manipulating replication timing may one day offer new ways to enhance crop traits or resilience.” — Hank Bass, Florida State University
