Analyzing the Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in the Environment: Sequencing & Bioinformatics of Soil & Water Samples
Overview: For your final project of the PARE-Seq short course, you will be completing a lab report on your findings from the Galaxy bioinformatics activity and your subsequent research into antibiotic resistance.
Define antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, and trace the pathways of resistance genes through the environment and into our bodies
• Explain the public health implications of antibiotic resistance in the environment
• Describe the role of sequencing, specifically Nanopore, in environmental surveillance for antibiotic resistance
• Give ‘real-world’ examples of AMR work and improve self-efficacy of taking part in bioinformatics research
