Evolutionarily Conserved Heat-Induced Chromatin Dynamics Drive Heat Stress Responses in Plants

The paper identifies HSFA1 as a conserved regulator of chromatin dynamics in heat stress responses across plants, mice, and humans, and develops a cross-species machine learning framework to predict chromatin accessibility and gene expression.

PREDICT: Advancing Accurate Gene Expression Prediction and Motif Identification in Plant Stress Responses

The paper develops a k-mer pipeline to predict gene expression and identify transcription factor binding motifs in plant stress responses, introducing the PREDICT database.
