'Simple Tidy GeneCoEx': a gene co-expression analysis workflow powered by tidyverse and graph-based clustering in R

The paper introduces a gene co-expression analysis workflow in R that uses tidyverse and graph-based clustering to detect co-expressed gene modules.

Nuclei isolation protocol from diverse angiosperm species

This paper presents an optimized nuclei isolation protocol for diverse angiosperm species, yielding purified nuclei suitable for genomics experiments.

Single-cell multi-omics enabled discovery of alkaloid biosynthetic pathway genes in the medical plant Catharanthus roseus

The paper uses single-cell multi-omics to identify alkaloid biosynthesis genes in Catharanthus roseus, revealing gene clusters, paralogs, and cell-type specific expression patterns.

High molecular weight DNA isolation method from diverse plant species for use with Oxford Nanopore sequencing

This paper develops a simple, taxa-independent DNA isolation method for plants to generate high molecular weight DNA suitable for Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing.

Identification of Iridoid Synthases from Nepeta species: Iridoid cyclization does not determine nepetalactone stereochemistry

The paper identifies iridoid synthase enzymes in two Nepeta species and shows they do not determine nepetalactone stereochemistry, which is instead established later in the biosynthetic pathway.
