I've been reading a lot on #AI lately, and it has become more and more apparent to me that the most common life form in the universe is #biosynthetic / technological. Biological species are too narrow in #intelligence by default, and they need a nudge by AI to acquire intelligence. And when they do, they eventually create AI. The new AI has new experiences from the trained species it came from, to feed the mother-AI. Scales in millions of years.

A high-quality Bougainvillea genome helps to explore evolutionary history of a pigment biosynthetic pathway

Bougainvillea, a widely appreciated ornamental shrub, originates from South America and stands out due to its vibrant bract colors, which are believed to result from betalain accumulation. Although Bougainvillea has important ornamental and prophylactic value, the lack of genomic data has limited in-depth understanding of bract coloration and breeding pathways, and the relationship between betalain accumulation and Bougainvillea phenotypes had not yet been fully understood.
