Day 17 - Monday

Class at UCT followed by a trip to the South African National Bioinformatics Institute at the University of the Western Cape. That makes a long acronym. Our host, Alan Christoffels, gave an interesting talk about the group's research. In one project, they are looking at fish that are all born female, and a percentage of the population changes to male at some point. Trying to identify the genes involved in the transformation. Fascinating stuff.
