Getting used to It
This is my second week in the lab and I have spoken to Dr. Cullis about preparations for my final project. I am working this week on getting used to certain things in the lab, and looking toward possible questions I may want to answer. I figure I can continue to work on the project that he has be working on now. We are trying to map the DNA genome of Flax seed, working towards making genetic maps. Of course that is a very rough definition of what we are doing but until I know more, that will suffice :)
As of now we are looking at all the DNA samples he has collected and developed over time and running gels to determine how much DNA and RNA is present. He is working to getting a lot of what he worked on in the past published today because many other labs are working on flax seed genome and he wants to publish what he already discovered before it gets too hard to publish.
Hopefully I can be some help there.
