Drexel University is part of the Science Education Alliance – Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES) program funded by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). Fall term involves wet lab experiments to discover new bacteriophage, the DNA from selected bacteriophages are sequenced, and in the Winter term students analyze the genomes of the sequenced phages. In Spring students come up with their hypothesis and answer questions by designing, conducting experiments and analyzing results.
