Using cool microscopes to study small RNAs in maize anther development 🔬🌽
Pinned
I figure I'll introduce myself on here!
My name is Ally and I study the localization of phasiRNAs and associated protein machinery in developing maize anthers!
I use an imaging technique called hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to target mRNAs and small RNAs for high-res imaging 🔬🌽
