Genome-wide network model capturing seed germination reveals coordinated regulation of plant cellular phase transitions

<28> This paper, which made it to the cover of PNAS (IF9.737), uncovered the genetic 'wiring' that helps a seed decide, based on environmental cues, when to germinate. Our findings are a significant step towards the development of new "smart" crops that could help secure future food supplies. Essential to our discovery was the development of novel sophisticated computational algorithms that can untangle biological complexity and thus shed light on the "network" of complex interactions involved in seed germination. The algorithms developed allowed other biologist to untangle biocomplexity on a variety of datasets with the paper receiving many citations.
