our new preprint is out! if a transcription factor binds near a gene, does it matter exactly where?
keep an eye out for a 🧵soon!
Positional grammar of transcription factor binding partitions developmental and stress-response regulation in plants https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.05.703842v1

August’s Nature Plants cover story shows how we integrated large-scale multiDAP and snRNA data to reveal drivers of cell type identity and evolution in flowering plants. www.nature.com/nplants/volu... We packed a lot into this paper! Here’s a single-cell spin on what we found:
Nature Plants - Cistromes uncovered
Transcription factors (TFs) have specific patterns of binding to gene promoter regions, which have similarities and differences within TF families and...
