🧬 We introduce RUP (RNA-Seq Usability Assessment Pipeline), a quality control pipeline for bulk RNA-sequencing data tiny.cc/qn1v001.
🧬 RUP is useful for anyone working with RNA-seq data -especially those interested in evolution, like the ICIPS crowd 🌱. #PlantScience #transcriptomics #rna-seqdata

I think this is one of the most powerful displays of what genetic engineering can do. Flower size and organ identity changed. And flower colour changes in a temporal order.
It shows we really understand flower development to a remarkable extent.
