Resolving the complexity of crop gene regulation with Fiber-seq

Join our upcoming webinar, where Dr. Christine Queitsch, Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, will share how her lab has applied Fiber-seq to maize — revealing regulatory complexity that short-read methods simply cannot access. 

Key Findings from the Queitsch Lab:

• Fiber-seq doubles the detectable maize regulatory landscape compared to traditional methods
• Active regulatory elements within individual LTR retrotransposons are directly detectable at single-molecule resolution
• Haplotype-specific regulatory activity in maize hybrids reveals extensive divergence between parental inbreds — including activation of formerly silent transposons, as McClintock predicted

Practical Takeaways:

• Tips to overcome common sample preparation challenges when adapting Fiber-seq for plant system
• Quality controls for assessing Fiber-seq data quality

Whether your focus is plant genomics, epigenetics, or gene regulation, this webinar will provide both groundbreaking insights and actionable guidance to advance your research.
