Published Workflows
Objective: Identify and mechanistically validate GIS2- and ZFP8-associated target genes involved in hormone-mediated regulation of trichome development in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Why it works: The workflow combines inducible perturbation with transcriptomic and chromatin assays so that candidate downstream genes can first be associated with GIS2 or ZFP8 and then direct GIS2 promoter binding can be confirmed.

Stages
- 1.Inducible perturbation and candidate-gene discovery(broad_screen)
This stage generates a broad set of candidate genes associated with GIS2 or ZFP8 before focused mechanistic confirmation.
Selection: Genes associated with GIS2 or ZFP8 after dexamethasone-inducible overexpression, transcriptomic profiling, and chromatin immunoprecipitation.
- 2.Direct target confirmation(confirmatory_validation)
This stage confirms that selected candidate genes are direct GIS2 targets rather than only associated genes.
Selection: Selected candidate targets SQE5 and SEN1 were tested for direct GIS2 promoter binding.
Steps
- 1.Induce overexpression in dexamethasone-inducible linesengineered inducible perturbation system
Activate GIS2 or ZFP8 overexpression for downstream target discovery.
Induction is required before transcriptomic profiling or chromatin assays can measure GIS2- or ZFP8-associated responses.
- 2.Profile associated candidate genes by transcriptomic and chromatin assaysassay method
Identify GIS2- and ZFP8-associated candidate genes after inducible perturbation.
Broad profiling follows induction so that downstream associated genes can be discovered before focused validation.
- 3.Confirm direct GIS2 binding at selected promotersconfirmatory assays
Test whether selected candidate genes are direct GIS2 targets.
This confirmation step follows broad candidate discovery to distinguish direct promoter binding from indirect association.

The named experiment implies dexamethasone-induction and CHX treatment in the study's inducible system.; requires dexamethasone and cycloheximide treatment context implied by DEX-CHX
Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
