Our next question was if these differences have effects on miracidia behavior (what we study). The answer is (unfortunately) yes. Most quantitative track features from unstimulated miracidia are different. Aggregated feature summaries show distinct clusters based on tissue origin as eggs.

We wondered - do these differences dissipate over time? Are miracidia transcriptomes synchronized after hatching? The answer is no. Even after hatching and equilibrating at room temperature for a few hours, miracidia transcriptomes can still be distinguished by their tissue origin as eggs.

Our annual Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Activity is a yearly highlight of mine. Proud of the students and their 5 poster presentations!

The best thing about research at a PUI is getting to do whatever I want. Excited to see how 3D printing capabilities broadens the types of experiments we can do.
