#MBP2027

Had the best time at #MBP2026 this week listening to amazing talks and poster presentations, presenting my own work, discussing science and networking!
Left with many new ideas and am already looking forward to next year! 🌱🧬

Very nice talk from Sanja Zenker (Bielefeld university) on the dissection of specificities in transriptional Regulation!

Time‐ and space‐resolved transcriptional regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana Transcript abundance patterns in time and space of kinases, E3 ligases and transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrate ample room for dynamic and specific regulation of metabolism and s...

Excited to share our new publication!

We show how regulators are dynamically expressed in time and space in Arabidopsis.

Optimized DNA affinity purification sequencing determines relative binding affinity of transcription factors Abstract. DAP-seq is an in vitro method to analyze the relative binding affinity of transcription factors to DNA. It is a fast and scalable method and its

Happy to share a new paper by the Computational Biology group from Bielefeld University and myself!🌾🧪🧬🖥

How conserved are plant transcription factor binding sites?

Great study by @andreabraeutigam.bsky.social lab shows a mixed pattern. Thanks for making good use of #TAPscan onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... also. C2H2 neofunctionalization fits ny thoughts.

Many transcription factor families have evolutionarily conserved binding motifs in plants (Sanja Zenker , Donat Wulf , Anja Meierhenrich , Prisca Viehöver , Sarah Becker , Marion Eisenhut , Ralf Stracke , Bernd Weisshaar , Andrea Bräutigam) doi.org/10.1093/plph... #PlantScience

I'd be grateful for some critique - the reviewers were not kind exactly.
