The paper investigates how transcription factor binding site position and chromatin context influence gene regulation in plants, revealing distinct regulatory roles for different genomic locations.

The paper uses DAP-seq to identify CSR regulators of NP biosynthetic genes in Streptomyces, revealing their broad regulatory impact and overlap in BGC control.

This study identifies SiROCX as a transcription factor regulating a monocot-specific CAZyme program for host cell wall remodeling during fungal symbiosis.

This study shows that TOR inhibition in algae increases amino acid levels through transcriptional activation of biosynthesis pathways and identifies a conserved transcription factor involved in nitrogen metabolism.

This study shows that Lactobacillus plantarum A736 reduces colitis by enhancing ChAT+ neurons and acetylcholine levels, with ILA as a key metabolite.

The paper presents a scalable TFBS assay to create an atlas of 3,000 genome-wide binding site maps for 360 TFs across 10 flowering plant species, revealing conservation and rewiring of regulatory elements.

The paper investigates the development and regulation of cortical sclerenchyma in grass nodal roots, showing mechanical forces stimulate wall thickening and identifying SECONDARY WALL NAC7 as a regulator.

The paper uses DAP-seq to analyze TF binding sites in R. microsporus, revealing DNA methylation's role in gene regulation and expanding fungal motif catalogs.
