The major objective of this project is to study certain aspects                 of the development and biochemical genetics of a small marsupial                (the gray short-tailed opossum) which has recently been adapted                 as a laboratory animal.  The only fully pedigreed colony of                     marsupials in the United States has been established, and this                  provides the resource for genetic studies not otherwise possible.               Because the newborn marsupial is still in a fetal stage, it is an               excellent animal model for developmental studies.  This research                program will study the development of the immune system and the                 genetic control of various enzyme systems.                                                                                                                      Since marsupial and placental mammals had a common ancestor more                than a million years ago, these studies should shed light on the                origin and specialization of these biological systems.  This                    research at an undergraduate institution will also involve bright               undergraduate students in basic research with a view toward                     interesting them in careers in science.
