Whole Genome Sequencing in the Undergraduate Classroom: Outcomes and Lessons from a Pilot Course

The BIO2010 report challenged undergraduate institutions to prepare the next generation of researchers for the changing direction of biology that increasingly integrates advanced technologies, digital information, and large-scale analyses. In response, the Microbiology and Cell Science Department at...
