Meet a real Technician, Biological:
Peggy Hall
"What I like best about my work is the way we rotate to different areas in the sequencing center. You get to learn new skills and the work doesn’t get boring or routine. My favorite work was the computer analysis I did when I was in the finishing section. We have a software program to analyze the DNA sequences. I reviewed the sequence data to make sure it was complete. If the sequence was not good, I suggested methods to use to improve that sequence area."
