About

The Genomics Education Partnership is a nationwide collaboration of institutions that integrates active learning into the undergraduate curriculum through Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences centered in bioinformatics and genomics.

Members

Curriculum

Our members use GEP materials in a wide variety of ways depending on the course structure and student backgrounds. These implementations range from incorporating short lessons into an existing course (e.g., using a genome browser to investigate eukaryotic gene structure) to participating in a genomics Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience centered around comparative gene annotation.

Research

Research Projects

The Genomics Education Partnership introduces students to research in genomics by engaging them in projects for which careful annotation of genes from recently sequenced species provides important data. Many scientific questions can be addressed using comparative genomics, as evolution enables us to identify conserved features and important changes.

Students

Genomics Education Partnership students can receive real time support in GEP activities and research by visiting a Virtual TA.

GEP Staff Road Trip

November 8, 2019

Our Program Director, Dr. Laura Reed, and GEP staff members Katie Sandlin and Chinmay Rele took a road trip from The University of Alabama to Washington University in St. Louis to train with GEP’s Director of IT, Wilson Leung. Wilson trained Laura, Katie, and Chinmay on using Apollo for reconciling students’ annotated gene models and the team began developing an updated annotation protocol for the Pathways Project.
