💬 Joint first authors @ievarau.bsky.social and @damlaob.bsky.social remark:
“This release marks a major milestone for JASPAR. Deep learning models now sit alongside the classical collections, letting researchers build on two decades of curated knowledge while harnessing modern computational power.”

🔍 What’s new?

For the first time, JASPAR now hosts a Deep Learning Collection running alongside its trusted classical PFM-based motif collections. This marks a transformative step in how researchers can explore transcription factor (TF) binding and gene regulation.

TFs in plants are very interesting! That includes the names 😅 JASPAR has great collaborators who work and check plant data for each release.
