Naturalist Nights 2013 | Jessica Metcalf

In her Naturalist Nights presentation Jessica shares information on how her team sequenced DNA from cutthroat trout that were collected across Colorado and New Mexico between 1857 and 1889. The goal of their project was to describe the historic diversity and distribution of Colorado's cutthroat trout.

Jessica is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado, where she specializes in getting DNA out of deceased materials. Jessica uses ancient DNA techniques to answer questions in ecology, evolution, conservation and forensics.
