Cheryl Kerfeld, a member of the Center’s Advisory Council and Head of the Education Program for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, California, and her colleagues have successfully launched a national program to involve undergraduates in annotating hundreds of new bacterial genomes. Hiram has benefited greatly from our collaborations with Kerfeld and we are looking forward to her new national education efforts in the areas of metagenomics and functional genomics.
