This web page was produced as an assignment for Gen677 at UW-Madison Spring 2009.
About this site...
Purpose
This web page was created as a semester-long project for Genetics 677: Genomic and Proteomic Analysis at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This class is taught by Dr. Ahna Skop, PhD. and is made up of upper level genetics students. The goal of the project was to apply bioinformatic approaches to study a disease gene. For more information about the course, visit the course web page where you can find information about the material covered in the course as well a list of other students projects.
The author
Brett Maricque is a third-year Genetics major at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Brett's interest in studying autism is related to the work he does with a 9-year old boy with autism. Brett has become increasingly interested in autism over the last two years and decided to research a gene that has been implicated in a percentage of cases of autism, the NrCAM gene. This project has provided a really good overview as well as some in-depth practice with bioinformatics programs that will be very useful in my future as a researcher.
