AMR is most commonly studied through clinical isolates, yet many microorganisms are not culturable and non-pathogenic microorganisms carrying resistance also pose a threat. Metagenomic sequencing, or sequencing all DNA in a sample, is a promising tool for detection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) but lacks sensitivity. We are seeking a motivated undergraduate to assist in the development of targeted sequencing laboratory methods for antibiotic resistance genes and develop pipelines to analyze targeted sequencing data. We aim to develop methods that are sensitive enough to detect low abundance resistance genes in complex environmental samples. The student will gain experience in PCR and long-read nanopore sequencing. In addition, they will have the opportunity to learn how to analyze sequencing data using python, R, and bash. The student will be mentored by <a href="https://deohs.washington.edu/faculty/erica-fuhrmeister" title="https://deohs.washington.edu/faculty/erica-fuhrmeister">Dr. Erica Fuhrmeister</a> with an emphasis on developing their own independent project.<o:p></o:p></span></p></blockquote><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><blockquote><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Desired qualifications:</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> Undergraduate coursework in microbiology.
