Helping Students Discover Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics

GCAT helps faculty bring genomics to undergraduates

May generous labs have supplied GCAT with DNA microarrays:

• Pat Brown and Barbara Dunn (Stanford University) - yeast
• Lee Hood and Krassen Dimitrov (Institute for Systems Biology) - yeast and Halophilic bacterium
• Ellen Wisman (Michigan State University) - Arabidopsis
• Fred Blattner and Tim Durfee(University of Wisconsin-Madison) - E. coli
• Richard Bookman (University of Miami) - partial human and mouse

You can always spot GCAT participants - they cluster together.
