Integrative Transcriptome Meta-Analysis, Co-expression Network Analysis, and Machine Learning Prioritize Drought-Responsive Gene Signatures in Peanut
This study integrates transcriptome meta-analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and machine learning to identify a highly predictive set of 276 conserved drought-responsive genes in peanut, providing a robust foundation for future functional validation and genomics-assisted breeding of drought-resilient cultivars.
