SEA-PHAGES (Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science) is a two-semester, discovery-based undergraduate research course that begins with simple digging in the soil to find new viruses but progresses through a variety of microbiology techniques and eventually to complex genome annotation and bioinformatic analyses.
