The Hill School: Day 2
The day started early Tuesday with first period. Thirty eager students arrived on the bus to determine the results of the amplification of the DNA they extracted the day before. The PCR ran overnight, copying part of a conserved gene in plants, RuBisCo, that can be used to...
The Hill School: Day 1
The day started early with reagent and lab preparation before we even left for school OR had coffee. We expected to do over 100 DNA Extractions as the first step in the DNA Barcoding. We arrived on campus as the first period was starting –we didn’t have class until after 9:00....

Summit on Systems Biology, June 15-17, 2011
I attended the Summit on Systems Biology hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA June 15-17. So, judging from the talks given, what is systems biology? Systems biology is non-linear and/or multi-step. Heavy math does not make something systems biology if...
Insights gained from influenza genomic sequence data: viral diversity within human populations
The advent of large amounts of influenza genomic sequence data produced by the Influenza Genome Sequencing Project (IGSP) has led to new concepts regarding influenza viral diversity. It was previously believed that a single influenza lineage entered a human population at the start of an...
