Our first short talk of the day 🌱 @dvarshney.bsky.social from @rensingstefan.bsky.social lab in Freiburg is exploring the origins of land plants through gene family evolution and a reproducible Galaxy workflow. #MAdLand2026 #plantsci

Can the pretrained transformer-based architecture TabPFN predict plant organismal complexity based on their complement of transcription factors? Yes it can: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Happy to hear your thoughts! @dvarshney.bsky.social @jandevries.bsky.social @watertoland.bsky.social

Prediction of plant organismal complexity based on transcription factor annotation: an AI approach

How morphological complexity evolves is still enigmatic. While there is evidence in algae and plants as well as animals that diversification of the repertoire of transcription factors (TF) is causativ...
