Previous Pause Next GEP provides students with Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) in genomics GEP students investigate the evolution of insulin pathway genes in 27 species of Drosophila GEP students investigate the evolution of venom genes in 4 species of parasitoid wasp GEP students investigate the expansion of the Muller F element in 4 species of Drosophila GEP students investigate the evolution of protein coding genes in the Puerto Rican Parrot About GEP About GEP The Genomics Education Partnership is a nationwide collaboration of 100+ institutions that integrates active learning into the undergraduate curriculum through Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) centered in bioinformatics and genomics. GEP materials and research projects have been used at all levels of undergraduate biology in Community Colleges, Primarily Undergraduate Institutions, and Research Universities. We eagerly invite interested current and future faculty to contact us and join our partnership!

The meeting was organized by Martin Burg (Node Leader), Jacob Kagey (Host Site Leader) and Jamie Siders. 12 faculty, 2 postdocs, and 18 undergraduates from 9 institutions (Albion College, Grand Valley State University. Illinois State University, Mount, Mary University, Oakland University , Ohio Northern University, University of Detroit Mercy, University of Michigan, Wayne State University) attended sessions including: undergraduate talks presenting GEP and other CURE data faculty breakout sessions on CURE implementation Why become a TA? Dos & Don’ts of applying to graduate and professional school GEP faculty discussion about future node events Nathan Mortimer's keynote, titled "Invasion of the body snatchers: A functional genomics approach to understanding parasite virulence proteins" This successful event kicked off the GEP's first year of NIH IPERT-supported regional activities and created a template for future events as we ramp up activity under the 5-year IPERT grant. The NIH has awarded the GEP $2.2 million over 5 years to expand our educational collaborative, to increase the number of genomics research questions under investigation, and to create a new micropublication workflow for undergraduate authors. The grant ( GM130517 ) will run through 2024 and should double the number of GEP participating faculty with a particular focus on supporting faculty and students from community colleges and minority serving institutions. The G-OnRamp Application Note is published on Bioinformatics.
