Project:

DISCOVERING NYC’S OYSTER POPULATION GENETICS

Students:

Raphael Bonanno, Cézanne Bies, Zain Khalid, Pierre Landet

School:

Urban Assembly New York Harbor School,

Mentors:

Mauricio Gonzalez

Abstract:

We shall be investigating the changes of genetic diversity between farm-raised oysters and the native eastern oyster species as well as the protozoan parasites that host on them. This shall help predict the adaptability of the population in the N.Y. Harbor and expand the knowledge to improve our environment.
