The Daffodil DNA Project

A colloborative project between schools and scientists funded by @royalsociety #partnershipgrants to decode the genetics of daffodils

[Jon Hale @JonHaleBio]

Another great @DaffDNA session with @HautlieuSchool qualitatively assessing the DNA extraction with loads of bands! Ready for @nanopore sequencing next time! Mr Swanwick was amazed by @miniPCR BluGel

Look at this @StMegsAbdn Your student's have done a phenomenal job! @DaffDNA @royalsociety #partnershipgrants Ms Miller must be so proud

[Hautlieu School @HautlieuSchool]

Year 12 Biology DNA daffodil project has begun! 2 exciting sessions now complete.
Students have been upskilled in the use of micropipettes and how to isolate chloroplasts.
