GEP TA D’Andrew Harrington (College of Southern Nevada) created a new resource for students that provides tips for conducting gene annotation projects for the GEP.
Tips for the First Time Annotator can be accessed indirectly from the “Help” page or directly by hovering over the “Help” tab in the navigation menu and then clicking on “Tips for the First Time Annotator” in the drop-down menu.
The webpage is a living document and we welcome any suggestions for improving the content.
Congratulations to Dr. Vida Mingo, who is featured in the Personal Genetics Education & Dialogue’s (PGED’s) Community Spotlight for his work to deliver genetics education to a broad range of audiences.
The Midwest Node hosted a virtual Student Research Symposium on Thursday, May 8, 2025 via Zoom. Nine undergraduate students presented their research on the Pathways and Parrot Projects, with six GEP faculty in attendance. This meeting provided an opportunity for students and faculty to connect through discussion of research projects and for faculty to plan for the future of the Node. Dr. Jennifer Mierisch and Dr. Sarah Justice, Midwest Node Co-Leaders, moderated the sessions.
The Southeast Regional Node Spring Virtual Symposium was a success with 10 attendees from three institutions (Mercer University, The University of Alabama, and Louisiana State University).
This mixed-methods descriptive study provides an overview of the GEP virtual learning assistant (LA) program, and it describes the quantitative data gathered about the scope and use of the program.
