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.

Hello current and awesome magnolia detectives and a warm welcome to future detectives. This is a lab based class which means that you will actually have fun learning the material through hands on experience. Genetic engineering and biotechnology are a lot more exciting than you might think it is. Plus it is a great environment to get nerdy and learn awesome words like visualizable!!! The labs you complete throughout the year are preparation for the work with Magnolia virginiana. Being the first of the Magnolia Detectives my class has left behind a strong foundation for future work. The labs were a blast and the teacher is amazing. Love you Mrs. Allsbrook.
