Using Comparative Genomics For Inquiry-Based Learning To Dissect Virulence Of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 And Yersinia Pestis, David J. Baumler, Lois M. Banta, Kai F. Hung, Jodi A. Schwarz, Eric L. Cabot, Jeremy D. Glasner, Nicole T. Perna
Using Comparative Genomics For Inquiry-Based Learning To Dissect Virulence Of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 And Yersinia Pestis, David J. Baumler, Lois M. Banta, Kai F. Hung, Jodi A. Schwarz, Eric L. Cabot, Jeremy D. Glasner, Nicole T. Perna
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Genomics and bioinformatics are topics of increasing interest in undergraduate biological science curricula. Many existing exercises focus on gene annotation and analysis of a single genome. In this paper, we present two educational modules designed to enable students to learn and apply fundamental concepts in comparative genomics using examples related to bacterial pathogenesis. Students first examine alignments of genomes of Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains isolated from three food-poisoning outbreaks using the multiple-genome alignment tool Mauve. Students investigate conservation of virulence factors using the Mauve viewer and by browsing annotations available at the A Systematic Annotation Package for Community Analysis of …
