A web interface was fabricated for data that were generated by students conducting experiments that aimed to develop molecular markers for the Abnormal 10 chromosome of maize. Because communication is required to provide this knowledge to a vast population, an online web interface for presentation and documentation was developed and has been made accessible to the general public. The project website was coded in html and provides information about the summer research program itself, data generated in the wet lab, and various traditional uses of maize.
