About The Genomics Education National Initiative (GENI)
The Genomics Education National Initiative (GENI) provides protocols, examples, and materials for genomics-based projects that can be used for education. For example, GENI has materials for doing functional complementation of E. coli with genes from other organisms as a lab project. Projects are designed to be suitable for undergraduate and high school labs. GENI also promotes collaborations between teams doing these projects.
Mission statement:
The Genomics Education National Initiative (GENI) incorporates original genomics, genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology research into the classrooms of high schools, community colleges, and undergraduate universities in order to dramatically improve science education through the practical application of conceptual knowledge.
GENI projects are designed to have multiple entry and exit points to accommodate different levels of students and different scheduling constraints.
Content
GENI will act as a clearinghouse for kits for functional genomics for teaching. GENI will handle both kits developed in-house and kits submitted by participants.
