The variety and quality of the research projects in which Genetics Program graduate students are engaged becomes evident upon exploring their research publications. The list below includes publications from 2005 and 2006 by students in the Graduate Program in Genetics. To learn more about the projects described in these papers, explore the web pages of the Genetics Program faculty (usually the last author on these citations).
