Jorge
Piedrahita, Ph. D of Texas A&M
University -- Dr. Piedrahita was nice enough to allow us tour his
lab and talk to his assistants, who were very informative. We got
to ask lots of questions, and we even got to agar-test the results of a
restriction enzyme on DNA. Thanks to all at Dr. Piedrahita's lab,
and thanks to Dr. Mark Westhusin, also of Texas A&M, for connecting
me with him.
Robin
Leach, Ph. D of University
of Texas at San Antonio Health Science Center -- Mrs. Leach corresponded
back and forth with us, answering a lot of questions that we had.
Thanks a bunch!
Thanks also to the many
friends and family members who helped support this site, as well as helping
to proofread it and making useful suggestions.
