Imagine the frustration of studying blueberries for months, and never getting to eat any! That's the situation Davidson student scientists have faced this semester in the new era of genomic research. Nine students who are involved in a multi-institutional effort to produce better blueberries only see the fruit as codes, symbols, numbers and letters on computer screens, rather than the nutritional, sweet treat they love.
