And so that’s the power and the promise of, I guess, …

Despite their diminutive stature, “short plants” such as mosses could be uniquely powerful in helping scientists link plant genetic sequences to what they do. But sequencing the genome …

… and ergot alkaloids come from fungi, and Taxol from plants. Plants, fungi, bacteria, archaea, they all have … that produces those. So it’s not a hard and fast rule, but, generally, animals do not have secondary metabolism that we … It’s an evolution of primary metabolism. So a lot of the genes and the DNA that’s used for secondary metabolism, they …
