The paper introduces PEAgent, a deep-learning framework predicting single-cell chromatin accessibility from DNA sequence in plants, revealing cell-type-specific cis-regulatory patterns and their conservation.

This study investigates the lineage-specific evolution of regulatory elements in allopolyploid peanut and its diploid progenitors, revealing patterns of chromatin accessibility and histone modification conservation and divergence.

This study uses single-cell genomics to analyze transcriptional and cis-regulatory divergence in duplicated genes of soybean, revealing how chromatin accessibility and duplication mechanisms shape expression patterns.

The paper constructs a single-cell chromatin accessibility atlas in rice and compares it across grass species to study the evolution of cell-type-specific cis-regulatory elements.

This study compares tissue-specific transcriptomics in two weedy rice lineages to identify genetic bases for convergent evolution of seed shattering.
