I’m Paige Minton-Edison, a faculty research assistant in the . We are a wildlife population and conservation genetics lab.

For the past eight years, I have worked on a multi-year, collaborative Columbian blacktailed deer project that generates genotypes for ODFW using microsatellite markers. We analyze about 4,000-6,000 samples each year. 

I have enjoyed the opportunity to add to the knowledge and conservation of blacktailed deer in western Oregon with the mindset that the data I provide will hopefully allow future generations to see blacktailed deer in the wild.
