Reed and Reed towed the construction barge away this morning leaving behind two happy Osprey and a very excited Marine Science Department.

During the Spring 06 Aquaculture course student Scott Lowicki investigated the use of mitochondrial DNA to trace the origin of horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) in the aquarium trade. As part of his project Scott published a partial sequence for the Cytochrome oxidase I gene in the Genbank database. The accession number is: DQ631867. The sequence may be viewed by googling "NCBI" and typing the accession number in the search window. Scott is aligning his sequence with other published sequences and will soon make a pronouncement as to the geographical source of his horseshoe crab.
