PI – Randal Voss, Biology
We use the DLX for transcript and genome assembly, counting RNA-sequence reads, and annotating sequences.

Research Projects
Application of Comparative Functional Genomics to Identify Regeneration-Specific Genes

Specific Aim: Perform comparative RNA-SEQ to identify conserved gene expression responses that are associated with natural limb regeneration.

Genome Sequencing to Enable a Model Salamander for Tissue Regeneration Research

Specific Aim: Sequence and assemble DNA corresponding to a whole axolotl chromosome.

Research Resources for Model Amphibians

Specific Aim: Sequence and assemble DNA corresponding to whole axolotl chromosomes.
