Summer Workshop in Metagenomics: One Week Plus Eight Students Equals Gigabases of Cloned DNA
We designed a week-long laboratory workshop in metagenomics for a cohort of undergraduate student researchers. During this course, students learned and utilized molecular biology and microbiology techniques to construct a metagenomic library from Puerto Rican soil. Pre-and postworkshop assessments i...
