Student-Driven Microbiome Exploration: A Low-Cost 16S rRNA Sequencing Curriculum for Undergraduate Biology Education

2026-05-12

Abstract excerpt

Microbiome science is increasingly important in modern biology education because microbial communities influence human health, ecosystems, and environmental processes. However, undergraduate microbiome instruction is often limited by the high cost and technical complexity of sequencing-based workflows, restricting opportunities for authentic student-driven research. To address this challenge, we developed a low-co...
