Exploring Identity Through Genetic And Genealogical Research, James Doan, Emily Schmitt Lavin Feb 2016

Exploring Identity Through Genetic And Genealogical Research, James Doan, Emily Schmitt Lavin

Emily F Schmitt Lavin

In this presentation, Schmitt and Doan examined data from student projects completed in their HONR 1000N Genetics and Genealogy course, taught during winter 2010. Students traced their deep ancestry through mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA analysis, as well as more recent ancestry, using genealogical databases and family histories. Frequently, students were challenged or pleasantly surprised by the information they gleaned. Genetic and genealogical research can provide clues to one’s identity and ethnic background, as well as potential medical conditions.

Emily F Schmitt Lavin

In order to utilize the untapped resources of volunteers, REEF and TNC, in active partnership, established the REEF Fish Survey Project. The Project involves the training and mobilization of a large corps of volunteers and is currently the only program with the technical and organizational ability to gather marine biodiversity data in a systematic and reliable manner. Objectives of the project are: 1.) to provide training and education opportunities for SCUBA divers and snorkelers to learn to identify and appreciate marine life 2.) to make data and summary reports readily accessible to the marine science, resource management, and conservation communities …
