Build-A-Genome and the “awesome power of undergraduates”
The Elizabeth W. Jones Award for Excellence in Education recognizes individuals or groups who have had significant, sustained impact on genetics education at any level, from K-12 through graduate school and beyond. The 2024 Elizabeth W. Jones Award for Excellence in Education recipient Jef Boeke considers himself a geneticist turned engineer. He transformed his landmark synthetic yeast genome project into a research-heavy teaching course, revolutionizing molecular biology and genetics education.
The Build-A-Genome course was developed to teach students basic practical molecular genetics while also providing the raw materials for a global genome synthesis project, Yeast 2.0. The course evolved over two decades to reflect the changing needs and opportunities for the project and the development of new technologies. In addition to educating a generation of college and high school students in a new way, it also developed a cadre of educators who developed similar courses and projects at a wide variety of research and educational institutions.
期刊介绍:
GENETICS is published by the Genetics Society of America, a scholarly society that seeks to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing our understanding of genetics. Since 1916, GENETICS has published high-quality, original research presenting novel findings bearing on genetics and genomics. The journal publishes empirical studies of organisms ranging from microbes to humans, as well as theoretical work.
While it has an illustrious history, GENETICS has changed along with the communities it serves: it is not your mentor''s journal.
The editors make decisions quickly – in around 30 days – without sacrificing the excellence and scholarship for which the journal has long been known. GENETICS is a peer reviewed, peer-edited journal, with an international reach and increasing visibility and impact. All editorial decisions are made through collaboration of at least two editors who are practicing scientists.
GENETICS is constantly innovating: expanded types of content include Reviews, Commentary (current issues of interest to geneticists), Perspectives (historical), Primers (to introduce primary literature into the classroom), Toolbox Reviews, plus YeastBook, FlyBook, and WormBook (coming spring 2016). For particularly time-sensitive results, we publish Communications. As part of our mission to serve our communities, we''ve published thematic collections, including Genomic Selection, Multiparental Populations, Mouse Collaborative Cross, and the Genetics of Sex.
