An exciting summer of undergraduate research in long-standing Genetics Department summer programs.

Undergraduate students from all over the country participated in Genetics research this past summer. The Genetics Department hosted students through two long-standing programs: the NSF-funded REU in Fungal Genomics and Computational Biology and the Summer Fellowship in Genetics (SUNFIG).
