Due to the inclement weather that seems to occur in every area where we wish to collect mussels, we have not been able to do so. The water levels have risen a great deal and made our jobs very difficult. Since we could not collect any specimens this week, we have been doing some lab work. We are amplifying the cytochrome oxidase subunit I of the mitochondrial genome of Etheria specimens. This involved nanodropping, PCR, electrophoresis, sequencing, and lots and lots of waiting.
The good news is that we are finally going on a field trip to Canada on Sunday morning. We plan to collect lots of mussels and eat some really good camp food.
