This past Friday, we were thrilled to welcome students from the Wake Tech START Program to Purvis Lab! The students had the chance to explore our lab through faculty-mentored, hands-on research experiences. The visit ended with a tour of the lab and a microscopy demonstration by Dr. Sam Wolff and Dr. Tim Daugird 🔍. A big thank you to our lab members and faculty who made this inspiring visit possible! 🤝

Genetics research: using the LASSO penalized regression method

Lasso penalized regression has proven to be a valuable asset in genetics research, aiding researchers in the identification of key genetic markers. By understanding its advantages, disadvantages, and taking necessary precautions, scientists can harness the power of Lasso regression and its variants to unravel the mysteries encoded in our genes.

Adding an alligator gene to reduce infections in farmed catfish

A team of aquaculture and aquatic scientists at Auburn University has found a way to reduce infection rates in catfish raised on fish farms by giving them an alligator gene. The group used the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system to add a special gene to the catfish genome that helps alligators ward off infections. They have presented their results in a paper uploaded to the bioRxiv preprint sever.
