Library/Life Sciences Undergraduate Poster Competition 2024
Introduction
• New genes are commonly found by randomly inducing mutations in model organisms.
• Mapping the mutations to the genome to find novel genes is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.
• We created a bioinformatics program, MMAPPR, to automate this process.
• Here, we introduce a new algorithm, MMAPPR2, which requires little to no bioinformatics knowledge to use.
• MMAPPR2 makes several improvements that allow it to identify genes more rapidly and precisely.
• MMAPPR2 will aid the rapid identification of genes in a wide range of species and developmental systems.

- Many Bonneville Basin streams have been isolated for 18,000-plus years (Behnke 1976).
- Bonneville cutthroat trout in small streams may have been experiencing genetic drift since the desiccation of Lake Bonneville.
- Small streams in the west desert of Utah and Nevada are at a high risk of genetic drift and diversity loss due to their small size
