Gene model for the ortholog of Pten in Drosophila miranda
Gene model for the ortholog of Pten in Drosophila miranda
Since its founding in 2006, the Genomics Education Partnership’s published scholarship has advanced the understanding of genome evolution and effective pedagogical practices in STEM. Through the GEP’s research projects, more than 1,100 students (and counting) have contributed as co-authors on published scientific research papers.

In addition to our traditional publications shown below, GEP students and their faculty mentors are publishing in microPublication.org, which publishes brief articles on research findings presented in a single figure to rapidly disseminate experimentally sound results to the community.

See our microPublications for more information.
