BIOL 108 - Annotation of a Microbial Genome

Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute, Clark students will participate in the manual annotation of a microbial genome from the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea (GEBA). The Clark University team will “adopt” a microorganism from a poorly characterized branch of the Tree of Life. Through annotation, students will examine the genome of this microorganism, and explore topics in microbial physiology, genetics, and gene regulation. Students will learn to use state of the art bioinformatics tools and databases. Annotation will be performed using the Joint Genome Institute’s Integrated Microbial Genomes Annotation Concepts Tool. Fulfills the Science Perspective requirement.
