Abstract
Students at Friday Harbor Laboratories have full access to the computers in our Student Computer Lab and main computer with DNA software in Lab 10, the Molecular Biology lab. Most of the classes taught at FHL require students to plan, execute, and present the results of a research project related to the course topic. We also have students who pursue independent projects with the resident faculty at FHL. Students and instructors alike have found two genomic software applications to be very helpful: Sequencher and MacVector. These two genomic software programs allow analysis of PCR products, designed to allow the cloning of specific genes. We are asking for an update to these expired licenses so that students can analyze their DNA results.
