🍀 The shamrock is an icon of Irish culture - but how much do we really know about it? #TRIDUBIRE is the first project to explore the species genetic #diversity and evolution, helping us understand its adaptation and protect its future. 🔗 https://t.co/q2mMWtYcqT

In 2023 a high-quality reference genome for the clover Trifolium dubium was generated as part of the ERGA Pilot Project. This was significant not only for its scientific value but also for its...

🍻 Super excited to be speaking at @pintofscienceIE next month! I’ll be talking on "The Science of the Shamrock" —how we’re using genomics to trace its history, why it matters, and what we’ve learned through #TRIDUBIRE. 🍀🧬
