Reasons for choosing the 4 assignments…

Honey bees-  I have always found honey bees and their community structure very fascinating. Since this lecture I have been thinking about what can actually happen to you if you ingest royal jelly …

SRS and BWS – This article was quiet challenging to understand, however I liked the way that the study was done, based on pedigrees and on phenotypes seen in humans (not animals).

LacZ transgene – The way that LacZ was used to stain the embryos was a really cool/ smart way of looking at gene expression. I did not know that LacZ can be used even in mammals…
