Still amazed that data this good came out of a school classroom! And now superexcited to hopefully get another 25 schools sequencing this year! Oxford Nanopore The Royal Society #partnershipgrants Kew Science The RHS Kálmán Könyves Alex Harkess miniPCR bio James Hutton Institute Malcolm Macaulay
Our #partnershipgrant application is in, and so are our daffodils from Botanic Garden, University of Dundee! The Royal Society The Daffodil DNA Project
Something for The Daffodil DNA Project
School students in the UK are helping to untangle the genetic complexity behind thousands of different varieties of daffodil. Beaulieu Biology explores the The Daffodil DNA Project project in #TheBiologist: thebiologist.rsb.org.uk/biologist-feat…
Kevin from Botanic Garden, University of Dundee gives a great synopsis of the history of daffs. It's fantastic that the project has grown so much since its inception Engage at University of Dundee UoD Life Sciences Oxford Nanopore miniPCR bio Heredity The Royal Society #partnershipgrants RHS Garden Wisley Kálmán Könyves Alex Harkess

First results of the The Daffodil DNA Project 2024 season are in. Decent effort from Beaulieu Biology with Loch Fyne, which defeated us back in 2022. Just a short region of the inverted repeats could not be assembled. UoD Life Sciences @royal

Robert failed his final exams at high school - but now he's on track to start a PhD after the summer. Thanks to a partnership project between the University and Dundee&Angus College College he was able to join university as an Associate Student. Read more: dundee.ac.uk/stories/failed…
