dc.description.abstract	As SNHU students working to complete the Biology Capstone, we performed DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and gel electrophoresis on samples collected from frogs in environments near campus in order to uncover any cases of chytrid fungus in local frog communities. Studying chytrid fungus deepens our understanding of fungal biology, ecology, and its effects on ecosystems. Particularly, research in frog populations provides crucial insights into disease ecology and transmission patterns. These discoveries guide conservation efforts aimed at protecting endangered amphibians from fungal diseases.
