The Daffodil DNA Project

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 @malcolmacaulay @royalsociety #partnershipgrants

All set for @theASE Scotland 2025 Conference @KinrossHS tomorrow. STEM projects iTAG and @DaffDNA workshop and @Jalview demo #itag #daffdna

Displaying @DaffDNA and Oregon Wolfe Barley iTAG projects @theASE Scotland Conference. Lots of interactions and interesting chats!

Up next @thease Scotland Conference is @DaffDNA and @Jalview workshop! #daffdna #jalview

@HautlieuSchool @DaffDNA were busy extracting DNA from their Lowen daffodil chloroplasts this afternoon. We will see how successful they’ve been with @miniPCR BluGel next week @nanopore @QIAGENscience @royalsociety #partnershipgrants @UoD_DAG @malcolmacaulay @JasonWilliamsNY

DNA Daffodil Project - Session 3. Isolating chloroplast DNA. @BeaulieuBio @DaffDNA @royalsociety #partnershipgrants

Some more data hitting the results page thanks to @UoD_DAG @royalsociety #partnershipgrants @JamesHuttonInst @UoDLifeSciences

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

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. @BeaulieuBio @DaffDNA @royalsociety #partnershipgrants

Great to welcome @WebstersHigh to @JamesHuttonInst @UoDLifeSciences yesterday for a @DaffDNA day out! More on the story from @thecourieruk thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/519348…

Students from Webster’s High School recently visited our Invergowrie campus as part of the @DaffDNA project, exploring career paths in #science and hearing from our researchers about their journeys from school to current roles #BritishScienceWeek 🔬 More: bit.ly/3DGrwPQ

Take part in the @RoyalSocBio & @FieldStudiesC Signs of Spring Survey. A fantastic opportunity to engage your students with their local environment. Aiming to track 10 key indicator species with the emergence of spring across the UK. 🪻 Visit: rsb.org.uk/news/combat-th… #spring

@DaffDNA if only there was a method to access their diversity and help look for rare accessions! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great afternoon engaging with teachers, technicians and STEM ambassadors for the @DaffDNA Teacher Training Workshop and seeing @SLDuce and @UoD_DAG in action at @JamesHuttonInst. Harnessing the power of daffodils, DNA and citizen science using @nanopore and @Jalview 🌼🧬
