Banana Regulome Atlas

A comprehensive platform deciphering the transcriptional regulatory code of agronomic traits in Musa species using multi-dimensional omics.

Project Overview

The Banana Regulome Atlas is dedicated to resolving the complex regulatory networks governing fruit quality (ripening, starch metabolism) and stress resistance (Fusarium wilt, cold stress).

We integrate state-of-the-art omics technologies to provide high-resolution regulatory maps:

RNA-seq DAP-seq ChIP-seq DNaseI-seq ATAC-seq RIP-seq

These datasets allow researchers to identify key Transcription Factors (TFs), cis-regulatory elements (CREs), and chromatin accessibility landscapes specific to banana agronomic traits.
