General Virology Lab B

Catalog description

Introduction to discovery-based research through a two-semester experience. In the second semester, students receive genomic sequences from previously isolated and characterized bacteriophages. Students then employ bioinformatics methods to annotate the bacteriophage’s genome sequence. After quality control checks, the students’ annotated sequence is submitted to the GenBank database. Students present their isolated, characterized, and annotated bacteriophage in a poster presentation, which completes the two-semester discovery-based research experience.
