Diving into Brain Diversity: Analyzing RNA to Study Gene Expression

This web page was produced as an assignment for an undergraduate course at Davidson College. The regions associated with brain disorders vary therefore it can be hypothesized that the turning off and on genes (gene expression) in different parts of the brain is crucial to how brain diseases affect specific regions of the brain. Evidence…

Unraveling the effect of the Black Death on the Genetic Diversity of Cambridgeshire 

The Plague, also known as the Black Death, killed approximately 75-200 million Europeans, therefore it is not surprising that it is hypothesized that it had an effect on the genetic ancestry of people that lived after the Black Death. Surprisingly, no evidence was found to support this hypothesis! This web page was produced as an…
