bZIP Transcription Factors Across 114 Plant Evolutionary Lineages

6,699 protein sequences from 114 plant lineages, including algae, bryophytes, and flowering plants, form the core of this phylogenetic dataset. Created by Cheng Chen and shared under CC-BY-4.0, it was last updated on May 20, 2026. The dataset includes a non-redundant validation subset of 1,049 sequences to reduce phylogenetic noise.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing phylogenetic trees based on the hierarchical subsets of protein sequences.
• Mapping deep-time duplication events using the global collection of 6,699 bZIP proteins.
• Evaluating sequence redundancy and phylogenetic noise with the 1,049-sequence validation subset.
• Conducting comparative genomics across major plant groups like algae, gymnosperms, and eudicots.

Strengths

• Includes 6,699 sequences across 114 distinct plant evolutionary lineages.
• Provides a curated, non-redundant validation subset of 1,049 sequences.
• Hierarchically structured into four optimized subsets for different analyses.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect taxonomic or source bias inherent to the compilation method.
