Allisyn Gillet: Originally, I wanted to become
a veterinarian, so I actually signed on with
Dr. Barry Jesse who works in the Animal Science
department at the School of Environmental
and Biological Sciences. I was doing honors
research through him and then that slowly
developed into my G.H. Cook Senior Honors
Thesis, and what I studied there was the small
proline rich protein genes, which to break
it down, they encode for what becomes the
epithelium, so that outer layer of your skin.
I did a comparative DNA analysis to resolve
the evolution relationships. Several domestic
animals that are ruminant, so they break down
cellulose materials, and using a specific
gene which was the paired small proline rich
protein gene and I basically sequenced the
gene and compared them amounts the sheep,
cow, goat, and deer and a pig which was just
a really distantly related species and then
when I sequenced them I used the differences
within the comparisons and saw how much, how
many bases were different and then was able
to resolve how related each species were to
one another. What I found was that the cow
and the goat were more related to one another
than the sheep and the goat were to each other.
Because you'd assume that the sheep and the
goat would be more related because of their
size and just what they look like, and it
was like those distinct characteristics. It
helped me with just, the planning and the
design of an experiment. He basically gave
me the project and said, okay, you figure
out the methods and you do this and on your
own, which was great for my experience. So,
now I'm able to take that experience and do
that for my graduate dissertation, and he
also even, I guess, expose me to just the
nitty gritty of how do you get funding and
where do you get the approval to work on animals
and cells and things like that and how do
you get that approval and who do you go to.
In a way it was a very invaluable experience.
I would recommend people to do their independent
projects because it really prepares you for
just the professional world. If you intend
on going into research, you know, just being
able to present the product and you'll develop
it in the beginning and then present the product
to symposium and then to a thesis community
in the end, so I would highly recommend for
people to do research, especially through
this institution.
