PARE-Seq

Background videos produced by undergraduates provide students with the context necessary to understand the Galaxy-based bioinformatics activity. In the bioinformatics workflow, students analyze authentic soil and water metagenomic sequence files for the presence of antibiotic resistance genes.

Background Videos

It is recommended that students watch all five background videos here prior to the bioinformatics activity (also available on the Background page). In particular, we suggest they focus on video 4 (Spotlight on Antibiotic Resistance Genes of Clinical Significance) and 5 (Tools of Bioinformatics) below.

Analyzing a Metagenomic Sample in Galaxy

This video covers the concepts of evolutionary conservation and homology that underlie bioinformatics research. We discuss the Bioinformatics workflow in the Galaxy online platform and interpreting the key outputs of Galaxy workflow.


Galaxy Tutorial

This video provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the Galaxy bioinformatics workflow in the PARE-Seq module.
