New course for Spring semester!
Minnesota Mississippi Metagenomics project course, Biol 4950. This 3 credit course will provide you with the opportunity to contribute to research on the microbial populations in the Mississippi River. The basic format of this course will be to meet with the faculty member as a group once per week, but then work in the lab for the rest of the course's time commitment. There will be two concurrently running halves of the course, one in which students will work on microbial diversity questions by studying 16S rDNA sequences and the other in which students will work on questions of functions present in the aquatic microbes in the sample. Each student will decide which project to work on.
