Subject Area

Description
This project is about identifying sponges from the Oregon Coast that are unknown. Sponges were collected from Newport, Oregon tide pools. These sponges that were collected, we don't know what the species name is so we collected the sample and ran some tests on it like DNA extraction, PCR, ran a gel electrophoresis, and get it the samples sequenced. Once that sequenced gets back we will know what type of species it.
