A-10 Biology Creation of a DNA Repository to Identify Deafness Genes Status: Ongoing Begin date: July 1, 2001 End date: No set date Principal Investigator(s): Nance, Walter – Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Arnos, Kathleen – Biology Other Investigator(s): Norris, Virginia – Biology Pandya, Arti – VCU Description: This project is a collaborative effort between Gallaudet (Department of Biology and the Gallaudet Research Institute) and the Medical College of Virginia’s Department of Human Genetics to establish a large repository of DNA samples from deaf individuals and their families. These DNA samples are screened for common forms of deafness and then made available to other investigators for studies of hereditary deafness. Genetic Deafness in Alumni of Gallaudet University Status: Ongoing Begin date: April 15, 2004 End date: February 28, 2009 Principal Investigator(s): Arnos, Kathleen S. – Biology Other Investigator(s): Pandya, Arti – VCU Fogel, Chana Esther – Biology Nance, Walter E. – VCU Blanton, Susan H. – University of Miami Marin, Ruth – Hearing, Speech, and Language Sciences Norris, Virginia – Biology Description: This project, designed to extend the 1898 study of deaf families by Professor E.A. Fay, former vice president of Gallaudet University, is a collaborative effort between Gallaudet’s Department of Biology and the Medical College of Virginia’s Department of Human Genetics. The goal is to identify and characterize rare genes that interact to cause deafness. A novel molecular genetic approach to identifying these genes will be used in the deaf offspring of deaf parents.

New Scholarship on Analysis of Modern Plant Exudates and Fossil Resins With Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: Plants From the Southern Hemisphere, New Plant Families, New Types of Exudates, and Rare Ambers Status: Completed Begin date: October 2007 End date: May 2008 Principal Investigator(s): Santiago-Blay, Jorge – Biology Other Investigator(s): Lambert, Joseph B. – Northwestern University, Chemistry Description: The goal of this project is to generate widely available databases of C-13 (carbon-13 isotope) solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and H-1 (proton) NMR signatures of plant exudates of the world. Specifically, the researchers propose to analyze modern unpolymerized exudates (e.g., resins, gums, gum resins, latexes, kinos, waxes, and lacs) from plants native to the southern hemisphere (South America, Africa, and Australia), new plant families, new types of exudates, as well as rare ambers (highly polymerized plant resins) garnered in the last two years.
