This is what studying gene function looks like in the Liu lab 🌱 In Yuzhong Liu's lab, researchers use tobacco plants to introduce genes from other organisms and observe how those genes behave in the plant. When leaves are “sleeping” or “awake,” scientists can see which genes are active. This research supports Liu’s work to develop medicines from natural products in a more sustainable, scalable and affordable way. #ScrippsResearch #Science #Research #Biotech #LabLife #Microbiology
