A Curricular Bioinformatics Approach to Teaching Undergraduates to Analyze Metagenomic Datasets Using R	2020-09-10		.txt	text/plain	5667	290	49	This approach is also intended to provide an entry point for faculty to begin developing new courses in bioinformatics within their undergraduate biology programs and collaborate with colleagues in computer science fields to pool interests and resources. To accomplish this research project, students perform a literature review, develop hypotheses, collect and prepare samples, perform metagenomic sequencing (through a third party vendor), learn data analysis skills, and present their research findings via a poster presentation. Secondary student learning outcomes for this course include those described in the CURE network: making discoveries of interest to the broader scientific community, an iterative work experience, communication of their findings, and development of scientific research skills (CUREnet, 2020). Because the primary learning outcome for this course is the development of R and Excel skills, the instructor can assist in the literature review process by developing the initial research question and providing some preliminary resources to begin the discussion.	./cache/cord-295240-76ee00i0.txt	./txt/cord-295240-76ee00i0.txt
