Want to get plantGREP predictions for your favorite promoter sequence or genomic locus?
Visit colab.research.google.com/github/tobjo... for a simple-to-use, code-free Google Colab Notebook.
Power users can download plantGREP as a command-line tool at: github.com/tobjores/pla...
Enabled by the massive scale of the data, we developed plantGREP, a deep learning model that predicts enhancer strength and identifies the underlying functional sequence motifs.
plantGREP can design strong, condition-specific enhancers and locate regions with enhancer activity in crop genomes.
📢Out now on bioRxiv:
We used Plant STARR-seq to characterize the species- and condition-specific enhancer activity of over 350,000 sequences derived from four plant species.

Many thanks to my co-authors, including @lampoona.bsky.social, @sebtriesch.bsky.social, @kerrybubb.bsky.social, and @rnanerd.bsky.social, for bringing this exciting project to life!
Thrilled to announce our newest preprint on #dedifferentiation in Arabidopsis 🧬🌱. We used scRNA-seq and hormone treatments to track transcriptional reprogramming in diverse somatic cell types and found what we think is some pretty cool biology. Feedback welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
CEPLAS, the cluster of excellence on plants sciences, is looking for PhD candidates for a number of exciting projects. See below for more info on the topics and on the recruiting process, and here: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...
🚨Job alert: We are looking for a #phd student to join us @unil.bsky.social to study the evolution & function of gene regulatory sequences in the context of crop domestication using genomics, genome editing and imaging 🌱🍅🧬. #plantscience #scijobs #plantscijobs. Apply here: tinyurl.com/3u73csma
📣 12 open postdoc positions in @ceplas.bsky.social !! www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...
We @teamthomma.bsky.social look for a postdoc on The Secret Lives of Soil-Borne Fungal Pathogens: Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Intermicrobial Interactions in Soils (see project 4)
