We have just entered our last third of the summer! <\/p>\n
It\u2019s crazy how fast time is flying by. Everybody has been working extremely hard. Larissa has spent most of her time pipetting to make DNA, in which she has completed a student\u2019s years worth of work in a matter of 3 weeks. She\u2019s really working hard to get samples ready for high-throughput sequencing! Jake worked really hard at designing his primers, and they recently came in the mail. I\u2019m excited to see what kind of results he will get in the next two weeks. Michelle has spent some time learning the ropes of microinjections. It\u2019s been interesting watching her progress, especially since not too long ago, I was in her position. Also, her imaging library is also growing day by day, and I\u2019m excited to see how her user\u2019s guide turns out!<\/p>\n
A lot has been going on for me, as I\u2019m always on my feet and ready for the next task. I spent most of my time dosing MEHP. I finished dosing the wild type fish, nrf1a knockdown fish, and nrf1b knockdown fish. On top of that, each day I juggle my duties of extracting RNA, synthesizing cDNA, and running qPCR. I have one more of group to dose (nrf1a and nrf1b knockdown), and I hope finish running and analyzing my data for all these sets by the end of my summer research time. Thus far, my preliminary data for the wild type set looks pretty good, and once I figure out the best housekeeping gene for this set, I\u2019ll be ready to analyze the data. I am very excited to see where this project will go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
