Projects for university summer students
The Ecological Genetics Laboratory often takes on university students during the university summer holiday to work on smaller projects. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in various fields of ecological genetic research.
Past projects
Some past projects have been:
- Mitochrondrial and nuclear gene sequencing of native earthworms -- Julia Allwood
- Mitochrondrial and nuclear gene sequencing of Onychophora -- Nitasha Chand
