The paper identifies transit amplifying cells in maize meristems using spatial transcriptomics and shows their growth and differentiation are independently controlled.

MINI-EX version 2 infers cell-type-specific gene regulatory networks in plants using single-cell transcriptomics and TF motif integration, improving accuracy and enabling analysis of non-model species.

MINI-AC infers plant gene regulatory networks using bulk or single-cell accessible chromatin data, outperforming existing methods in identifying TF binding sites and revealing cell-type specific regulators.
