MX-417 kills Arabidopsis seedlings, but we don't know how. Look through the plants that survived it and work out which gene it's acting on. (Everything in here is made up.)
which gene is it?
RSX1 is the target.
I'd like to find the next one :)
I made this after our interview because I don’t think I came across very well on the day. I get nervous in interviews and went a bit blank on a couple of questions.
I went away afterwards and learnt more about how herbicide screens work, then made this. I wanted to understand how you would go from a few surviving seedlings to identifying the gene a compound is acting on and to show you how I approached it once I had looked into it properly.
Thank you both for taking the time to speak to me. I really enjoyed the interview and learning more about Moa.
