• What methods do you use in researching "The Global Transcriptional Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Cold Shock and Recovery"? Lauren M. Kelly 16:13, 15 January 2017 (EST)
  • We use a technology called DNA microarrays that can measure the expression of all the genes in yeast at once. We will be learning about this in the second half of the semester. — Kam D. Dahlquist 19:53, 18 January 2017 (EST)
• Will the Bioremediation processes being studied on the Ballona Wetlands be affective in different soil types across the world?*Cameron M. Rehmani Seraji 23:55, 16 January 2017 (EST):
  • That's not really my area of expertise. My project in the wetlands was sampling soil bacteria and identifying them by their 16S rRNA sequence tags. If phytoremediation is used, i.e., plants are grown to suck up the contaminants and then harvested to discard, it would work as long as the plant could grow there. Dr. Drennan is more of an expert on this than me. — Kam D. Dahlquist 19:56, 18 January 2017 (EST)
