+/- 8 hours/day M-F.
Where
National Center for Genome Resources
2935 Rodeo Park Drive East
Santa Fe, NM 87505-6303
Topic Overview
This onsite, hands-on workshop will cover a full DNA sequencing experiment including a root nodule sample collection field trip (if possible), DNA extraction, sequencing on Nanopore MinION machines and data analysis. We will teach students how to sequence and analyze a community of microorganisms from tree root nodules (nitrogen-fixing organs).
Audience
Undergraduate students.
NSF awards of $1500 available for accepted students available ($500/wk). If distance is a barrier, additional awards for lodging and travel costs are available for New Mexico students only.

Prerequisites
Unix, sequencing basics and other study guides will be provided upon acceptance.
What to expect upon acceptance
Email confirming acceptance into the internship program and further details.
Logistics
The workshop will be conducted on-site. Vaccinations and masks are required. We will use a variety of software and tools. You will log onto NCGR’s Linux analysis server for the command line tools. After the workshop, students can use our analysis server for their research or education purposes for up to one year.
