🎇 As 2025 draws to a close we've been reflecting on a great 12 months of data-driven biology.
🧬 This year our scientists have generated the first wheat pan-transcriptome, published high-quality #genomic resources for diverse species and #pathogens, and explored fundamental questions about our #DNA.
