For the last year, starting in July 2023, we have been attempting to assemble and verify a plasmid to use in the transformation of rice plants. Two scientists from Johns Hopkins University visited us last July. They brought the insert containing the gene to express GRFT. Having no previous experience with plasmid assembly, this task involves a learning curve for me. There have been multiple fails which are among other things, teachers. We try not to repeat the same mistakes and like to think we are making progress.
It's an interesting summer that hasn't left much time for posting on this blog. We're still alive and kickin'.
