The 2015 Waksman Forum Poster Session is scheduled for Monday, June 6, 2016. All schools Teams that have contributed to the 2015-2016 WSSP research project should plan to attend and present at the Poster Session. As in previous years, there is only ONE POSTER per school. Easels will be set up, and poster boards with push pins will be available for those schools that bring print outs of their posters.

Announcements
Another 100 sequences from schools including JP Stevens, New Providence, North Brunswick, Pascack Hills, Pascack Valley, Southern, Watchung and West Windsor-Plainsboro South, have been posted on NCBI. Go to the 2015 Published Sequences page to see if your sequence has been published
100 Sequences have just been posted on the NCBI EST database. A complete list of all the sequences published to data are on the Published Sequences page. To connect to the published report page on NCBI for your clone, go to the NCBI Cross-Database Search page, and paste in the name of the clone.
5/23/16 - 2015 JHU Poster Session
Scholars representing Maryland schools presented their findings at the 2015 MBGR @ JHU Poster Session conducted on Sunday, May 22, 2016 in Mudd Hall on the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus. Over 200 MBGR high school teachers and students, parents, guardians, University faculty and project staff attended. Congratulations on the accomplishments made by all of the students and teachers involved in the 2015 program. A .pdf of Dr. Vershon's presentation can be found here.
4/30/16: 205 New Sequences have been posted on the NCBI site!!! Go to the Published Sequences links in 2015-2016 project year to see if your sequence has been published!
The first academic meeting of the 2015-2016 WSSP program will be held for teachers only at 4:00 PM on 9/24/15 in Rm 1001 of the Waksman Institute. We will discuss changes to the program for central New Jersey high schools associated with the WSSP. Supplies and equipment will be distributed to schools to conduct the project during the academic year.
All of the 2013-2014 DNA Sequences that have been analyzed and reviewed have been submitted to NCBI.
Please check the Published Sequences link in the 2013-2014 project year for your clone name.
More than 500 of the sequences for the 2014-2015 project year have also been published. Please check the Published Sequences link in the 2014-2015 project year for your clone name.
Several schools created physical models of proteins that are homologous to the duckweed proteins 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, and 2012 Poster Forums. 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.
The WSSP has been running for over 23 years. Over that time period more than 150 schools and 7000 students have participated in the program during summer institutes held at Rutgers, John Hopkins, University of Texas-Austin, or Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories and/or at their high schools during the academic year. To help us strengthen the program and obtain funding needed to continue the WSSP, we are asking our alumni to take a survey so that you can tell us a little bit about what you have been up to since you graduated from high school!
