Previous Functional Genomics Institutes
"Hiram College in northeast Ohio was the host of the second annual ASM/JGI Functional Genomics Institute, a program that helps faculty incorporate the growing field of functional genomics into undergraduate classes. Genomics involves the use of complete DNA sequences to generate testable ideas about how an organism makes a living and interacts with other organisms. Functional genomics is a set of lab strategies and tools that allow researchers to experimentally test those hypotheses and connect genes to the overall biology of the organism. For 13 undergraduate educators from across the U.S. and Australia, the Institute was a series of how-to sessions on building one course or an entire curriculum around functional genomics research. During 17-21 July 2011, the star was Thiomicrospira crunogena, a sulfur-oxidizing, carbon-fixing bacterium of the deep ocean. In addition, participants worked with the soil bacterium and sometimes plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and discussed how to use other “non-model” microbes in course research projects."
