SAM-seq: A novel approach for unraveling plant epigenetic complexity
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe complex interplay between nucleosome positioning, DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility is crucial for genome regulation in eukaryotic organisms. However, current chromatin profiling methods, which rely on short-read sequencing, fail to characterize highly repetitive genomic regions and cannot…
