EXTREME GENETICS:  Mapping the Genomes of Crocodiles and Alligators

Ever think to yourself, “Hey, I wish my model organism was more bite-y…”  

Well, meet Dave Ray, professor at Mississippi State University. His team is sequencing the genome of crocodiles and alligators.  And do you know what that means?  Yup, collecting DNA samples from many, many crocodiles and alligators. Check out Ray and his gang of extreme geneticists as they show us a typical day at the lab.
