We are excited to announce the addition of 15 new plant species to TSSHub, significantly expanding our coverage of the plant kingdom. The new entries include important crop species and model organisms used extensively in plant biology research.

Each species comes with comprehensive TSS data derived from CAGE experiments, along with JBrowse genome browser integration for interactive exploration. This expansion brings our total plant species count to over 30, making TSSHub one of the most comprehensive TSS resources for plant genomics.

A new comparative genomics analysis tool is now available, allowing researchers to compare TSS patterns across multiple species simultaneously. The tool supports pairwise and multi-species comparisons with customizable parameters.

Users can identify conserved TSS regions, analyze promoter architecture differences, and export results in standard bioinformatics formats for downstream analysis. This feature has been a highly requested addition from our community.

We have released a comprehensive tissue-specific TSS atlas for the human genome, integrating CAGE data from over 200 tissue and cell types. This atlas provides unprecedented resolution of transcription start site usage across human tissues.

The atlas is fully integrated with our JBrowse genome browser and can be downloaded in BigWig and BED formats. Researchers can use this resource to study tissue-specific gene regulation, alternative promoter usage, and enhancer-promoter interactions.
