From sample to result 🔬

At our annual meeting in Angers, we followed a plant sample through the ANSES plant health labs: DNA extraction, real-time PCR and digital PCR.

ANSES is developing methods to detect NGT products, the very challenge DARWIN works on. Thanks for hosting us!

#Darwin_NGT researchers built RiSpy: a genetic-fingerprinting method that traces genome-edited rice straight from sequencing data.
