Next up for summer highlights is Tayla Isensee, a rising Junior at Reed who is splitting her research time on computational and experimental sides of the same project -searching for targets of Retinoic Acid (RA) signaling in zebrafish retinal development. This is a joint project with Kara Cerveny, whose work produces beautiful images of the zebrafish eye (images from her website):
In this project we’re going back to bioinformatics with motif-finding – read Tayla’s post for more info:
