🔬 Reproducibility is one of the challenges we face in science nowadays. For that reason, SEVA keeps plasmids minimalistic, but functional. We reduce the genetic sequences to the minimum in order to bring the applicability of #SynBio to the maximum! 💡

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇

There are 1000x less microbes able to degrade biodegradable plastics (i.e. aliphatic polyesters) in marine environments (sediments) than in their terrestrial counterparts! 🤯 Why? Still don't know🤔 (fig shows log10 values). Check our latest preprint doi.org/10.1101/2024...
