BIO 220 - Phage Genome Annotation (2)

Students will build on data collected in BIO 110 by assembling and annotating the genomes of one or more bacteriophage isolated in the fall by BIO 110 SEA-PHAGES students. During the course, students will complete one or more genome annotations that will be released to the larger scientific community through the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s GenBank database. Students will gain hands-on-experience working with raw sequencing data, calling genes, and assigning gene functions. Students will gain a broader understanding of the kinds of information available in biological sequence databases and how that information is generated. Students will demonstrate the ability to evaluate the available information and use it appropriately.
