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

@DaffDNA if only there was a method to access their diversity and help look for rare accessions!

As daffodils burst into bloom, experts want help in finding rare treasures hiding in plain sight.
