🥕Gezocht! @CGN_Wageningen wil zaden van ‘verdwenen’ erfgoedrassen boven water krijgen. Ze maken deel uit van ons biocultureel erfgoed en worden gebruikt bij veredeling. Heb jij nog zaden van oude groenterassen liggen? Bekijk hier welke we zoeken! 👉 https://t.co/WZsiwqFNCe

A long journey driven by @tobiasmarschal in collaboration with Gunnar and I from @cepas_1 and @rfinkers. Rebecca was relentless to answer how one can phase a tetraploid crop like #potato using hifi data as well as shallow offspring data. https://t.co/JBtg8Wkz32
