- Abstract
- Real time PCR is used to quantitatively measure the amount of RNA corresponding to our clock and output (clock-controlled) genes present at various times of the day. These amounts tell us the level of expression of specific genes at the corresponding time points and therefore give us a tool to measure and characterize circadian behavior at a particular developmental stage.
- Description
- A poster containing visuals and text describing an undergraduate research project completed at the University of Wisconsin--Whitewater. The project examines genetic evidence of circadian rhythm activity in tadpole eyes.
