Students will work asynchronously through a series of Department of Energy Knowledge Base (KBase) narratives to create, evaluate, and improve individual and community microbial metabolic models with novel isolates local to deep-sea hydrothermal vents in the Guaymas Basin.
Participants will be guided through narratives by an expert developer. Open labs will be available for students to work on assignments and their own models. Office hours will also be available upon request for additional help.
