Project:

Exploring Genomic Regions for the Forensic Genetic Characterization of Common Household Flowers

Students:

Cristina Guzman-Moumtzis, Abhayvir Singh

Institution:

John Jay College, Manhattan

Mentors:

Nathan Lents

Abstract:

This project explored the conserved sequences and regions of polymorphism between different genuses of flowering plants. These genetic differences allow for discrimination between plants and, therefore, the successful amplification of these conserved regions has lead to the creation of specie specific primers.
