Hello,
Trying an experiment in genomics - trying to crowd-fund the sequencing of the wood frog genome. The wood frog is a vertebrate animal that can survive freezing - but only winter acclimated animals can do this - summer acclimated cannot. Thus, this ability is under genetic control.
We're 55% of the way there and need more pledges to achieve the goal. The project will use Illumina's Moleculo technology. If funded, I'm going to involved undergraduates in the annotation project as a special class. So, this is a great way to get some pretty cool science done, as well as get undergrads involved.
The project link is here: https://experiment.com/projects/unlo...rvive-freezing
