"Here we describe a systematic effort (‘Codebook’) to determine the sequence specificity of 332 putative and poorly characterized human TFs." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An expanded codebook of human transcription factor DNA-binding specificity - Nature

Results from a panel of assays that analyse different aspects of DNA sequence specificity reveal more than 100 new motifs to aid the characterization of putative human transcription factors.

My two first 'Francois Parcy' roses opened last week and I feel really lucky. Next ones were not so pink but more orange. Still I like the messy petal arrangement and the delicate perfume (can't share that here). @Roseraies Croix in Bourg d'Argental

80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein. 16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

An infographic from Our World in Data titled "Global land use for food production" uses a series of stacked horizontal bar charts to visualize the distribution of Earth's surface and the disproportionate land requirements of livestock. The first bar shows Earth's surface is 71% ocean and 29% land (141 million km²); the land surface is then broken down into 76% habitable land, 10% glaciers, and 14% barren land. Of the habitable land, 45% (48 million km²) is used for agriculture, while 38% is forests and 13% is shrubland. The agricultural land bar reveals a major disparity: 80% (38 million km²) is dedicated to livestock (meat, dairy, and textiles) including grazing land and cropland for feed, while only 16% is used for crops for direct human consumption and 4% for non-food crops. Finally, two smaller bars at the bottom contrast this land use with nutritional output, showing that while livestock uses 80% of agricultural land, it only provides 17% of global calories and 38% of global protein, whereas plant-based foods provide 83% of calories and 62% of protein.

Very nice review on the many roads to reach a plant cistrome. Super nice bibliographic ressource with many many techniques, none are perfect, all are somehow useful to reach the graal : a functional (= regulatory) cistrome. Thanks to the authors for the big effort link.springer.com/article/10.1...

En 2025, j'ai publié "Les clés du champ: comment domestiquer les plantes". Parfois, je regarde les commentaires. Aujourd'hui, j'ai vu celui-ci : Excellent mais seulement 3 étoiles car je suis MANIPULATEUR !! Et oui, je travaille dans le domaine alors je suis en conflit d'intérêt...🤔🤷‍♂️
