Student Sequencing Program

Leroy Hood, Maynard Olson
Department of Molecular Biotechnology, University of Washington, FJ-20, Seattle, WA 91895

This program provides high school teachers with the training, equipment and support to lead students through the exercise of sequencing small portions of the human genome. Results of student analysis will be placed in appropriate national scientific data bases, alongside data contributed by professional scientists. Scientists at the UW's Department of Molecular Biotechnology work with high school biology teachers and genetic counselors to design hands-on laboratories suitable for schools and curricular materials which address social and ethical issues arising from the genome project. Funded by the Department of Energy, the program is being launched in Seattle in 1993-94 and should be available nationally to schools by 1995-96. Program chairs: Maynard Olson, Ph.D., Leroy Hood, Ph.D., and Maureen Munn, Ph.D.
