BLAST lab continues and ACT prep up starts ...

Today in AP Biology, we started our BLAST Lab (AP Investigation 3).  We took four genes from a prehistoric organism and compared the DNA sequences to other organisms using BLAST.  We will finish this lab tomorrow.

Stayed after school to help a couple of middle schoolers with their Science Olympiad Genetics problem preparation.
