It’s my pleasure to share that our latest manuscript is out now in Nature Biotechnology. This has been an incredibly exciting project! We describe BreakTag, an NGS-based tool for the rapid characterization of CRISPR nucleases and off-target activity. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New work from Sohyun Bang using scATAC-seq to decipher WUS function. Sohyun led our first scTAC-seq analysis of a TF mutant, which led to many surprises. WUSCHEL-dependent chromatin regulation in maize inflorescence development at single-cell resolution biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hey! If you wanna hear how we have developed an assay to systematically explore the function of over 2000 TFs in Maize come join me at poster 700 - 209 in the genes and genomes section! ASPB Early Career Plant Scientists Section #ECPSinHI

So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in Nature Publishing. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by Peng Liu. nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵

Exciting soybean breakthrough! Mapped 103 cell types and 303,199 regulatory regions, unveiling gene networks and developmental shifts. A treasure for soybean biology! Great work Xuan Zhang, Ziliang Luo, Alexandre Marand!

We’re excited to share that our latest article unveiling research on the CRISPR-Cas9 induced DNA repair mechanism across species. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team and collaborators who made this milestone achievable. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Finally published! Cool ressource for forward and reverse genetic screens. A fully sequenced collection of homozygous EMS mutants for forward and reverse genetic screens in Arabidopsis thaliana - Carrère - The Plant Journal - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…

Why was corn able to spread and adapt so rapidly across the Americas 4,000 years ago? Research from CSHL’s Rob Martienssen suggests that the answer may lie in a genetic system called Teosinte Pollen Drive. cshl.edu/corns-missing-…

Our deep dive into cis-regulatory diversity using single-cell genomics across maize germplasm reveals how genetic variants reshape chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding, chromatin interactions and much more. Led by Alexandre Marand! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PlantCaduceus - Cross-species modeling of plant genomes Led by Jingjing Zhai and Aaron Gokaslan, with the Kuleshov lab, we’re having our “ChatGPT moment” with DNA Large Models. PlantCaduceus predicts functional DNA sequences with single base resolution across flowering plants.

Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
