Researchers say lumberjacks helped sequence a plant genome
Original: Lumberjacks sequenced this plant’s genome
Northern Arizona University is reporting that lumberjacks took part in sequencing the genome of a plant. Beyond that claim, no details have been released about which plant was sequenced, what role the lumberjacks played in collecting samples, or what the genome analysis is expected to show. The unusual pairing of forestry work and genomics is the main point drawing attention so far.
