This summer, Biorocket Interns collected air quality data and biodiversity data of trees in Sunset Park; used CRISPR-Cas9 to mutate the genes in the mTOR pathway in yeast; and investigated the ability of a microbe named Ideonella sakaiensis to degrade common plastics.

Look at these photomicrographs of Open Plant's transformed Marchantia plants. In many of the pictures you'll see a mixture of purple & green tissue.That's because the plants are chimeric - some of the cells have been transformed with the RUBY gene while others haven't.
