Welcome to Bytes of the Apple, a blog about the ongoing research in the Applewhite Lab at Reed College. Â Reed College is a small liberal arts college located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. The Applewhite lab studies the cytoskeleton, actin, microtubules, and molecular motors, in the context of cell migration and morphogenesis. We use the humble fruit fly and cells derived from the fruit fly to explore the world. Welcome!
