Thanks 🙏 but this is truly the work of Nick #OpenFlower Desnoyer @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social 🌼
🎨 Nature's been painting with betaxanthins and betacyanins all along — now you can too! Thanks to @kamounlab.bsky.social, AMBER and GOLD add new colors to the palette of pigmentation genes for plant research, education, and floral design.
Find the plasmids here: www.addgene.org/browse/artic...
Genes for genetic painting in flowers now available on Addgene!: addgene.org/browse/artic...

Nick @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social engineered a rainbow flower 🌺 🌈 🪛

Stay tuned for #OpenFlower

It was awesome to host Niko @nikomccarty.bsky.social @thesainsburylab.bsky.social these last ten days and have him explore plant biology with the #OpenFlower team of JP and Nick 🌱 🌼

#StayTuned
Filmed a podcast with @nikomccarty.bsky.social yesterday.

We talked for four hours about flowers, beauty, and the next big project I’m working on.

Community Spirit: Plasmids for All 🧬

A decade of plasmid-wrangling has become a movement: free plasmid sequencing through @getgenome.bsky.social thanks to @fclabs.bsky.social, and @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social's OpenFlower backed by @plasmidsaurus.bsky.social and @genewiz.bsky.social.
