Chromatin accessibility and modification is a hallmark of regulatory DNA, the study of which
led to the discovery of cis-regulatory elements (CREs). Here, we characterize chromatin …

Enhancers are important cis-regulatory DNA elements that regulate transcription programs
by recruiting transcription factors and directing them to the promoters of target genes in a cell …

Background Cold stress can greatly affect plant growth and development. Plants have
developed special systems to respond to and tolerate cold stress. While plant scientists have …

Highlights•Open chromatin and DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs).•Genome-wide
identification and characterization of DHSs by DNase-seq.•DHS dynamics associated with …

Deep sequencing of DNase-I treated chromatin (DNase-seq) can be used to identify DNase
I-hypersensitive sites (DHSs) and facilitates genome-scale mining of de novo cis-regulatory …

Abstract RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is responsible for the transcription of most eukaryotic
protein-coding genes. Analysing the topological distribution and quantification of RNAPII …

Understanding gene regulatory networks in plants requires knowledge of cis-regulatory
DNA, trans-acting factors, and their dynamics across development and in response to …

Polyploidy is a widespread phenomenon throughout eukaryotes, with important ecological
and evolutionary consequences. Although genes operate as components of complex …

Light, as the energy source in photosynthesis, is essential for plant growth and development.
Extended darkness causes dramatic gene expression changes. In this study, we applied …

Cassava is a tropical root crop that is sensitive to low temperature. While the transcriptome
for cold-responsive genes has been extensively studied, information on their regulation is …
