๐Ÿ“ฃ ๐Ÿ“ฃ Wondering what allow diatoms to grow in the ever-changing environment ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธof the ocean๐ŸŒŠ?
Check out or latest work where we develop genome-wide CRISPR screen to unravel the genes๐Ÿงฌ critical for diatoms under dynamic light conditionsโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‡
Spoiler alert: it is (almost) not about NPQ ๐Ÿ‘€ but CEF ๐Ÿซฃ
