In addition, we would like to thank Dr. Ting Lu, Bob Chen, Uros Kuzmanovic, Cara Schornak, and all of the members of the Jin Lab for continuous help and support throughout the length of our project.

Institute for Genomic Biology
We would like to thank IGB Director Dr. Gene Robinson and the Biocomplexity theme for donating lab space to our team for use during the summer and fall terms. We would also like to thank Melissa McKillip for tracking our financials, coordinating logistics, and extending communications to outside resources.

Human Practices
Thank you to Dr. Jennifer Amos, Dr. Hahil Sobh, and Asha Kirchhoff for support in our outreach campaign by letting us share our project with prospective scientists and the National Science Foundation.

Wiki Assistance
Finally, we would like to extend a large thank you to our wiki masters Jacob Calvert and Logan Marlow, as well as wiki design artist Marian Jorda. This site would not be made possible without the very generous contributions of these undergraduates. Check out their websites for all of their amazing work. marianjordaportfolio.tumblr.com
