TreeScape: learning about evolutionary biology through an “Escape Room”

Abeoforma whisleri is a single-celled marine protist important in scientific research to understand the origins of animals. A. whisleri cells were transformed with plasmid DNA encoding a fluorescence protein to label the A. whisleri nuclei in green, enabling an experimental model systems team to better study the life cycle of this organism. | Picture by Sebastian.
