This blog documents experiences of students enrolled in Introduction to Biotechnology at Polk County High School in Columbus, North Carolina. These students are studying a population of Magnolia virginiana growing in Polk County. Through DNA technology the project aims to identify the closest genetic relatives from neighboring North and South Carolina populations. This project will be ongoing for several years.

During this semester in Biotechnology we learned many new lab techniques in order to perform our research on the Magnolia virgianiana species, located in Columbus, NC. Through numerous labs we learned to extract and compare DNA from Magnolia species. This class is very lab oriented and is an excellent way to learn about STR,VNTR,ISSR, and other methods of DNA comparisons. I can now use the techniques I learned in this class to succed in other microbiology based classes that I may take in the future.
