For more information click here. 6/5/11 Several schools created physical models of proteins that are homologous to the Artemia protein coded by the genes they identified. See the SMART Protein Structure Modeling link for more information and pictures on the structures that were made for the 2010-2011 Poster Forum. We thank Tim Herman, Margaret Franzen, and Mark Hoelzer from the Milwaukee School of Engineering Center for Biomolecular Modeling for creating the models with the scripts generated by the students. 9/27/10 We have posted a WSSP alumni survey. Please tell us a little bit about what you have been up to! Click here to take survey 3/6/09 WGBH has made a video of the WSSP HiGene project! To see the video connect here! |
