Dr. Skip Garner's lab is exhibiting at KTU on April 9th!

Have you ever wondered what your DNA looks like? Several members from Skip Garner’s lab at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute will be demonstrating how to make a paper origami model of DNA. You can also help solve a crime scene mystery in Crime Scene:KTU by using DNA evidence to pinpoint the criminal! The Garner Lab studies differences in types of DNA sequences known as microsatellites. These highly variable Sequences are often used as markers, and are the basis of many forensic identity tests.
