Yesterday I showed my parents the lab. They really liked it, for this I am glad. I ran a gel on Exons 13 and 14, which turned out a little streaky but my gel was a tad bit old. It was from the beginning of the week but I figured I could get away with using it one more time.
Today I created an outline for my paper, and started looking for sources/reference materials. I am having some issues tracking down articles on one of the syndromes that is associated with this gene. There is one article that I was really curious about, and I clicked on about 20 different links trying to gain access to a pdf. No luck! O well, I will have to obtain my information elsewhere I do believe. Completing this paper and presentation are going to be difficult because I still have a copious amount of work to do at the center to acquire results. The hard work will be well worth it though. I love learning more about the field of genetics. As a side note, I'm taking a Human Genetics class this next semester with Dr. Moss (and a class on current topics in biology, which will surely include some talk of genetics). I'm pretty excited about it, not gonna lie.
'Til tomorrow!
