The unPAK consortium (Undergraduate Phenotyping of Arabidopsis Knockouts) has started a public website at http://arabidopsisunpak.org . This National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored collaborative project of the College of Charleston, Hampden-Sydney College, Barnard College, and the University of Georgia, seeks to build an undergraduate network to further study the genetic basis of phenotypes found in the model plant Arabisopsis thaliana. The work encourages scientific discussion between undergraduates at different schools while providing invaluable scientific data for the genetics research community.  The Hampden-Sydney branch of the project is focusing on molecular characterization and currently consists of Dr. Mike Wolyniak, Jonathan Park ’12, Henry Loehr ’13, and James Hughes ’14.
