That’s just what happened in a genetics lab at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Graduate student Erin Kennerly, a PhD candidate in genetics, was using JMP Genomics to analyze gene expression changes due to habitat differences between wild and captive red wolves. She realized the genes that differed the most between the captive and free-range wolves were involved in pathways also associ- ated with depression or stress. Kennerly’ s research led her adviser, Dr. Greg Gibson, to wonder, “Will humans show similar effects due to environmental changes?” And another experiment was launched–this one by
