Abstract

The academic objectives were met by the proposal. Students learned to sequence DNA and to interpret the sequence to know if there was a rare genetic change occurring in the sequence that they interpreted. Students learned to write academic abstracts, introductions, results, and conclusions in the format of an academic journal. Furthermore, together the students determined that the genetic change in a family with an inherited syndrome of birth defects was not one that had previously been identified or described.
