Sac Charter High School forensics workshop

Back to Sac charter High School for our (now yearly) genomics outreach event! Once again, we conducted several sessions throughout the day and had the chance to work with several batches of juniors and seniors. Students learned about DNA extraction, PCR, and gel electrophoresis and put these concepts into practice to identify the perpetrator of a kidnapping case! We also brought some zebrafish for students to view under the microscope and explained how we utilize model organisms to investigate the functional role of genes.
