課程概述

The undergraduate genetics and genomics internship aims to train students participating in this project with strong genetic background. Most students will work with a classic model organism, Drosophila melanogaster, and closely related species to address a specific scientific question. Students should send an e-mail to the instructor (Chau-Ti Ting, ctting@ntu.edu.tw) before March 10th, 2018 to be able to have an opportunity to participating this internship in spring semester. 

課程目標
The undergraduate genetics and genomics internship allow students to explore their problem solving skills in science. Based on projects, students will gain hands-on experiences in scientific research. As many similar internships, we encourage students take this internship as a beginning step for their academia careers. 
課程要求
Students are required to discuss classic papers in genetics and genomics with the instructor. Regular attendance and active participation is expected. The final reports can be a regular project report or a research proposal based on their preliminary data.
