| Our Purpose Faculty at Rutgers University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Texas at Austin and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are working with high school teachers to encourage their students to participate in genuine molecular biology research in the classroom. A video of an overview of the WSSP can be found here. |

Announcements 2/1/13 We have now posted all of the lab handouts and videos on the DSAP site. Go to Other Resources on the DSAP Help menu to download or view the videos. 10/8/12 We have changed the usernames and passwords for students and teachers to download files posted on this site. Please use your DSAP-12 Username and Password to download all WSSP lecture, lab notes, and video files posted on this site!!! 9/14/12 Most of the 2011-2012 sequences have been published on NCBI!!!. Connect here to see the list of clones that have been posted. Other clones will be listed on the site as soon as NCBI posts them. 7/20/12 We will be submitting clones analyzed during the 2012 WSSP Summer Institutes soon. Please complete your analyses as soon as possible and send in your parental release form. 7/20/12 Many of the 2011-2012 sequences have been submitted to NCBI!!!. Connect here
to see the list of clones that have been posted. Other clones
will be listed on the site as soon as NCBI posts them. Please
note that contig sequences will be posted to nr database and will take
significantly longer to be pblished on the NCBI site. 6/18/12 We will soon be
submitting sequences analyzed over the 2011-2012 academic year.
Please be sure to complete any sequence that need to be worked
on. 1/29/12 Over 300 of the 2010-2011 sequences processed by the schools are now posted on the NCBI database!! Please look at the Published Wolffia DNA Sequences link for the list of clones from your school for your clone. Please note that many of the sequence files are still being processed and submitted. 1/29/12 We have created Help videos for the first several pages of DSAP. Please link to Help icon in the DSAP to link to the videos. 8/24/11 WSSP has a Facebook Page! If you are a current or former student in the WSSP, please friend us on Facebook at WSSP Waksman-Scholars. 8/18/11 We have created videos for all of the lab modules. For more information click here. 6/5/11 Several schools created physical models of proteins that are homologous to the Artemia protein coded by the genes they identified. See the SMART Protein Structure Modeling link for more information and pictures on the structures that were made for the 2010-2011 Poster Forum. We thank Tim Herman, Margaret Franzen, and Mark Hoelzer from the Milwaukee School of Engineering Center for Biomolecular Modeling for creating the models with the scripts generated by the students. 9/27/10 We have posted a WSSP alumni survey. Please tell us a little bit about what you have been up to! Click here to take survey 3/6/09 WGBH has made a video of the WSSP HiGene project! To see the video connect here! |
Our Support We gratefully acknowledge the support of GE Healthcare. GE Healthcare has proudly supported the Waksman Scholars Program since 1998. Their involvement includes providing funds for student scholarships, supplying laboratory reagents and equipment, making their facilities available for the Waksman Forum, and, most importantly, donating the time of their scientists and staff. |
