This video by our Assistant Features Editor program participant, Noé Perron, is an engaging exploration of the intersection of plant biology and cutting-edge data technologies. The video dives into the workings of plant genetics, illustrating how genes, those small pieces of DNA, control every aspect of life by producing RNA and proteins.
But what if we could understand these genetic mechanisms on a larger scale?
Enter the realm of big data and large-scale biology. With advancements in genome and RNA sequencing technologies, scientists can now study all the genes and proteins in an organism simultaneously, revolutionizing our approach to biological research.
