Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is becoming a core tool in ecology and conservation
biology, and is being used in a growing number of education, biodiversity monitoring, …

This four-year study describes the assessment of a bifurcated laboratory curriculum
designed to provide upper-division undergraduate majors in two life science departments …

The bacteriophage population is vast, dynamic, old, and genetically diverse. The genomics
of phages that infect bacterial hosts in the phylum Actinobacteria show them to not only be …

Climate change is leading to habitat shifts that threaten species persistence throughout
California’s unique ecosystems. Baseline biodiversity data would provide opportunities for …

RNA replicons are an emerging platform for engineering synthetic biological systems. Replicons
self-amplify, can provide persistent high-level expression of proteins even from a small …

Improvements in high-throughput sequencing makes targeted amplicon analysis an ideal
method for the study of human and environmental microbiomes by undergraduates. Multiple …

This study used a mixed methods approach to evaluate hybrid peer‐assisted learning
approaches incorporated into a bioinformatics tutorial for a genome annotation research project. …

Bacteriophages (phages) exhibit high genetic diversity, and the mosaic nature of the shared
genetic pool makes quantifying phage relatedness a shifting target. Early parameters for …
