ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq Integration Reveals Chromatin Accessibility and Transcriptional Dynamics During Fruit Color Development in Mulberry.

ABSTRACT: Fruit color, a defining characteristic in mulberry, varies markedly across cultivars, ranging from black and red to pink and white. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing pigmentation during fruit development remain poorly characterized. In this study, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq were integrated to investigate genome-wide chromatin accessibility and identify putative transcription factors involved in fruit development in Da10 (Yueshenda10, Morus atropurpurea Roxb.). Differentially accessible chromatin regions and differentially expressed genes were jointly analyzed to generate a genome-wide map of regulatory elements and transcriptional activity. This integrative approach enabled the reconstruction of a transcriptional regulatory network that facilitated the identification of candida
