Youth - Detection of Single Transgenic Sample

FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-15

Summary
An intern would be beneficial to AquaBounty's research team as the summer months tend to bring many routine diagnostic samples for screening in addition to the R&D projects that have been planned. During this internship, one of many R&D projects that we have planned includes a study to validate a molecular diagnostic assay for the detection of a single transgenic sample within a pool of non transgenic samples. This assay will provide a reliable and much faster, more economical method of screening groups of putative non transgenic samples as they will be prepared as a pool instead of being analyzed individually as they currently are. Having an intern available to work on this project will be key in its success.

Description (French)
Un stagiaire serait utile à l'équipe de recherche d'AquaBounty, car les mois d'été ont tendance à apporter de nombreux échantillons de diagnostic de routine pour le dépistage en parallèle des projets de R-D qui ont été planifiés. Au cours de ce stage, l'un des nombreux projets de R-D que nous avons prévus comprend une étude visant à valider un test de diagnostic moléculaire pour la détection d'un seul échantillon transgénique au sein d'un groupe d'échantillons non transgéniques. Ce test constituera une méthode fiable, beaucoup plus rapide et plus économique pour le dépistage de groupes d'échantillons non transgéniques présumés, car ils seront préparés en bloc au lieu d'être analysés individuellement comme ils le sont actuellement. La disponibilité d'un stagiaire pour travailler sur ce projet sera la clé de son succès.
