More good research news! The Conchologists of America funded my research proposal! This funding will allow me to do much more in depth comparisons of transcription within the radula. By dividing the teeth up into four "phases" of iron deposition, we will be able to ask exactly what is happening as the teeth develop.
I just got back from the Florida Keys, and now have 40 samples in the freezer, ready for RNA extraction and sequencing. Very excited to move this project forward!
