What principles of TF activity have survived a billion years of evolution? New Shih lab preprint! We used ENTRAP-seq to map activation and repression domains across Arabidopsis TFs and compared their activity in plants and yeast . 🍄⚖️🌱 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Our lab's new paper is out! We introduce ENTRAP-seq, a high-throughput in planta assay for multiplexed profiling of protein-coding libraries. Using ENTRAP-seq and machine learning, we discovered transcriptional regulators from ~1,500 plant viral genomes. go.nature.com/4pw5cL1

Multiplexed profiling of transcriptional regulators in plant cells

Nature Biotechnology - ENTRAP-seq systematically links protein sequence to transcriptional output in a native plant context.

Active learning enables discovery of transcriptional activators across fungal evolutionary space

Biological discovery and design are increasingly being guided by predictive models in place of costly experimentation. However, existing datasets are often biased by overrepresentation from model...

Biological diversity beyond model organisms is poorly represented in ML training datasets. Our new preprint uses a high-throughput assay and active learning to discover and characterize gene regulation in non-model organisms.

Our study shows that existing models perform poorly on sequences from non-model organisms because they are out-of-distribution relative to sequences in model species.

Functional annotations from model organisms are insufficient for robust evolutionary predictions. Active learning across evolutionary space enables generalizable models to accelerate discovery in understudied branches of life. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out our new preprint! We examined sources of variability of transgene expression in N. benthamiana agroinfiltration and ways to minimize it. Graduate student Sophia Tang observed FP expression in >1,800 plants over the course of nearly 3 years! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
