How does evolution forge adaptive responses? Are many changes required or few? Just
how complex are the transcriptional networks that control development? Diverse questions …

Determining where transcription factors (TFs) bind in genomes provides insight into which
transcriptional programs are active across organs, tissue types, and environmental …

Substantial recent advances in genome-scale transcription factor target mapping have
provided a fresh view of the gene networks governing developmental transitions. In …

Modeling dynamic gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is a new frontier in systems biology. It
has special implications for plants, whose survival requires rapid deployment of GRNs in …

Deciphering gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is both a promise and challenge of systems
biology. The promise lies in identifying key transcription factors (TFs) that enable an …

Genome-wide association (GWA) mapping is a powerful technique to address the molecular
basis of genotype to phenotype relationships and to map regulators of biological processes …
