UW launches cutting-edge DNA 'fin-printing' project for salmon

A $4.1 million effort just launched by the University of Washington aims to gather genetic information for thousands upon thousands of Pacific Rim salmon populations. People are familiar with genetic markers being employed to study the human genome. The process, sometimes referred to as DNA fingerprinting, could be called DNA "fin-printing" for fish when a bit of tissue from a fin is used for the analysis.
