A composited genome approach to analyse cistrome diversity in barley

The paper develops a composite genome approach to analyze TF occupancy diversity in barley using short-read data, showing improved accuracy over SNP-replacement strategies for MOA-seq analyses.

The role of methylation and structural variants in shaping the recombination landscape of barley

This study identifies genomic features that explain recombination variation in barley, showing methylation and structural variants jointly determine recombination hotspots and coldspots.

The dual trxG/PcG protein ULTRAPETALA1 modulates H3K27me3 and directly enhances POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 2 activity for fine-tuned reproductive transitions

This study shows ULTRAPETALA1 modulates PRC2 activity and enhances H3K27me3 deposition in Arabidopsis, revealing a bivalent trxG/PcG factor mechanism for chromatin regulation.

Investigating the barley methylome, its variation and association with genomic, transcriptomic, and phenotypic variation

This study investigates the barley methylome, identifies differentially methylated regions, and shows their association with gene expression and phenotypic traits, improving genomic prediction models.

Genetic variation at transcription factor binding sites largely explains phenotypic heritability in maize

The paper identifies genetic variants at transcription factor binding sites that explain a large portion of phenotypic heritability in maize under different water conditions.

Identification of nuclear pore proteins at plasmodesmata: potential role in intercellular transport?

The paper identifies FG-nucleoporins (FG-NUPs) at plasmodesmata (PD) using bioinformatics, proteomics, and imaging, suggesting a potential role in intercellular transport.

MINI-AC: Inference of plant gene regulatory networks using bulk or single-cell accessible chromatin profiles

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.
