New Tool for Gene Co-Expression and Visualization in Sorghum and Barley
Researchers from Ohio University developed PlantNexus, a gene co-expression network (GCN) and visualization interface for sorghum and barley. The gene functions and regulatory mechanisms that GCNs could help study are of fundamental importance in increasing nutrients and yield.
