About the Dr. Jane Huffman Wildlife Genetics Institute
The laboratory was founded with several missions in mind: carry out multidisciplinary research and education with a strong relationship with outside agencies, provide internship opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students, process evidence from wildlife cases and provide expert testimony in criminal cases investigated by fish and game agencies.
Capabilities have been constantly expanding and now include: distinguishing species of mammals, determining gender of mammals, and matching individual identities.
One of the most important abilities for scientists is the power of observation. You need to be able to see what’s going on and use it to help identify what information is needed to solve a case.
