The New York and New Jersey (NY/NJ) Node held a virtual Regional Node Meeting (RNM) on March 5, 2022, in which seven GEP members were in attendance. Dr. Nate Mortimer provided an introductory seminar on the Parasitoid Wasps Project which was followed by a walkthrough of all the project materials. Members learned how to sign-up for an annotation project, how to find the Genome Browser, which Browser tracks were important for the annotation and what types of evidence the tracks contain. Most importantly, members learned how to annotate genes without a good gene model from a closely related species. Overall, attendees thought it was a great way to get excited to implement this new project and teaching genomics.
Back Together in St. Louis: Thank You for a Wonderful 2026 National GEP Faculty Workshop!
Faculty from across the country gathered in person to advance projects on cutting-edge genomics education, grow our nonprofit, and tackle big questions about AI in the classroom. We want to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s workshop!
