About This Page
Participating students at Washington University (enrolled in Bio 4342/434W, Research Explorations in Genomics) are required to write a paper documenting their work finishing a fosmid and a paper documenting the annotation of their fosmid. Students enrolled in the “writing intensive” version of this course critique each others papers and rewrite their papers to achieve maximum clarity. Examples of their work are presented here to illustrate the challenges that arise and solutions the students worked out.

2004 Student Reports
Note: During our initial work in 2004, we believed that we were analyzing clones from Drosophila littoralis, a species closely related to Drosophila virilis. However, we have subsequently learned that a mistake was made in the Drosophila Genome Project, and the library we are working with is from a strain of Drosophila virilis. We have corrected this in the course outline, but the student reports provided here will refer consistently to Drosophila littoralis as the species under study.
