This study investigates the lineage-specific evolution of regulatory elements in allopolyploid peanut and its diploid progenitors, revealing patterns of chromatin accessibility and histone modification conservation and divergence.

The paper constructs a single-cell chromatin accessibility atlas in rice and compares it across grass species to study the evolution of cell-type-specific cis-regulatory elements.

The paper identifies cell-type-specific cis-regulatory variants in maize using single-cell genomics and population genetics, revealing their role in local adaptation and flowering.

The paper constructs a spatially resolved multiomic single-cell atlas of soybean development, identifying cell types, chromatin regions, and gene regulatory networks involved in growth and nitrogen fixation.

This study uses single-cell ATAC-seq to analyze cis-regulatory elements in C4 photosynthesis across grass species, revealing cell-type-specific chromatin accessibility patterns and evolutionary dynamics.
