Bacteriophage discovery and genomics provides a powerful and effective platform for integrating missions in research and education. Implementation of the Science Education Alliance Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES) program facilitates a broad impact by including a diverse array of schools, faculty, and students. The program generates new insights into the diversity and evolution of the bacteriophage population and presents a model for introducing first-year undergraduate students to discovery-based research experiences.
噬菌体的发现与基因组学为整合研究与教育任务提供了一个强大而有效的平台。科学教育联盟噬菌体猎手推进基因组学与进化科学(SEA-PHAGES)项目的实施,通过纳入各种各样的学校、教师和学生,产生了广泛影响。该项目为噬菌体种群的多样性和进化带来了新的见解,并为向本科一年级学生介绍基于发现的研究体验提供了一个范例。
