New preprint 1 of 3! GxE is everywhere, but what causes it at the molecular level? @skdeb.bsky.social led this project using allele-specific expression in a B73xMo17 hybrid to test whether sequence variation changes TF binding & drives cis-reg GxE in gene expression.

Cis-regulatory variation and transcription factor binding contribute to allelic genotype-by-environment interactions for gene expression in maize
Genotype-by-environment interactions (GxE), or differences in how genotypes perform across varying environments, are a pervasive source of phenotypic variation and underlie differences in local adapta...
