CyVerse Education: Scaling Genomics and Data Science for the Biology Classroom

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) scale research methods to allow large numbers of students to explore open-ended problems. CUREs typically use a common set of biochemical and bioinformatics tools to allow students to obtain novel results within the time-frame of a one or two semester course. This workshop will present practical reports of CUREs in action in different institutional and class settings, as well as data on how CUREs improve student attitudes toward science and retention in STEM disciplines. Projects on DNA barcoding on microbiome analysis use DNA Subway and other computational resources provided by CyVerse, an NSF-funded cyber-infrastructure for biological research (DBI-0735191 and DBI-1265383).
