Sequencing Gators: Building a Genome Science Curriculum at the University of Florida and Beyond

在CCLI第一阶段项目的基础上，通过开发非专业的基因组学入门课程和高级顶点课程《细菌基因组测序与分析》整合了基因组科学，第二阶段垂直整合了生物信息学和基因组科学，为佛罗里达大学（UF）的生物学本科生开设或加强了七门课程。一个来自四个不同院系（微生物学与细胞科学、计算机科学与工程、统计学和动物学）的跨学科团队正在共同开发这些课程，从入门级的生物计量学课程到高级课程——生物学家编程。这些课程改进的影响扩展到邻近的社区学院合作伙伴布里沃德社区学院、印度河州立学院和迈阿密戴德学院，这些学院使用了一个在线远程平台，该平台使用了luminate和课程管理系统技术。所有的模块和课程在UF使用计算机教室，他们是一个新的基因组科学证书课程的一部分。研讨会提供给有兴趣教授模块或课程的4年制和2年制教师。

Building on a CCLI Phase 1 program that integrates genomic science via the development of a nonmajors introductory genomics course and an advanced level, capstone course, Bacterial Genome Sequencing and Analysis, this Phase 2 vertically integrates bioinformatics and genomic science with the formation or enhancement of seven courses for undergraduate biology students at the University of Florida (UF). An interdisciplinary team from four different departments (Microbiology & Cell Science, Computer Science & Engineering, Statistics, and Zoology) are working together to develop these courses ranging from an introductory level Biometry course to an advanced level course, Programming for Biologists. The impact of these curriculum improvements is extended to neighboring community college partners Brevard Community College, Indian River State College, and Miami Dade College using an online distance platform made possible with Elluminate and course management system technology. All of the modules and courses at UF use a computer classroom, and they are to be part of a new genome science certificate program. Workshops are offered to both the 4-year and 2-year faculty who are interested in teaching the modules or courses.
