Final Presentations and still more 28S!

 Wow that last week went really fast. Using the new 28S primers I developed, I finally got the right product for the 28S region. We received the sequences on friday and running through the NCBI Blast program confirmed a match to Katablepharis 28S. Now we have about 2/3 of the 28S sequenceBefore the Primate Center closed on Friday I rushed over some samples to be sequenced with more primers. Hopefully we can get that whole sequence next week.

Presentations were this week. I honestly wasn't nervous based on the fact that I had prepared with Pete over the week. I felt that my presentation was very precise and smooth. It was also nice to see what the other interns were working on, but it was sad to see some of them go, as I will be at CMOP for a few more weeks. The intern office will be less crowded now :(

Feeling a bit homesick I drove to Corvallis for the weekend. There is nothing like home-cooked meals! My family had activities planned for the weekend and we spent a day trip at the Newport!
