gEnETiCS From increased corn yields to heavier muscled cattle, genetics is on the forefront of advancements in agricultural productivity. Research at the College of ACES fosters the development of emerging genetic technologies. Whether you’re interested in plants or animals, find out how your future starts here. The Illini Poultry Club Stock Pavilion Come see what’s hatching at the Illini Poultry Club exhibit. Don’t miss the chance to see chicks hatch and touch a live chicken. Student members invite you to learn more about the poultry science industry including chickens, eggs and career possibilities. Explore a Molecular Genetics Lab Turner Hall/ERML Tour a molecular genetics lab with ACES student, Geoff Benn. See tissue culture growth chambers for plant cultures and learn how students and faculty in Crop Sciences use molecular genetics to study soybeans and other plants. Meet in the north entryway of Turner Hall on Friday at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m. 2 p.m or Saturday at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. PATHwAy PREvIEw explore plant anD animal genetics check oUt the latest research investigate career possibilities Disease Resistant Plants Room W-121, Turner Hall Visit this exhibit to learn about some common pests of crop plants and see the difference between pest resistant and susceptible plants. See how well you can score resistant and susceptible plants. Development of a Protocol for qRT-PCR with Reagents Produced In-Lab Mumford Hall Working in the field of genomics, this James scholar looked for ways top optimize the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction for use with reagents produced in the lab. Using reagents produced in lab lowers costs 100-fold, allowing cheap confirmation of microarray results and opening the door to other large-scale expressional studies in genomics. ACES James Scholar project presented by Geoffrey Benn (Albany, NY). Mutants of Maize Student Lounge, Turner Hall Explore the oddities of the corn world! See purple and white corn plants growing before your very eyes. Check out the ancestry of corn.
