Sequencing Training Program (STP)

Among the goals of the DOE Joint Genome Institute is to implement programs to inspire the next generation of genomics researchers.  By availing high throughput DNA sequencing capacity to educators through the JGI Sequencing Training Program (STP), we expect that the tools of genomics will become relevant to classroom coursework and laboratory training. 

Pending available resources, and at the discretion of the JGI Director, educational institutions can apply for JGI DNA sequencing capacity.  A simple registration form is required, stating how the proposed project will advance classroom learning and how the data is to be used.  Once approved, educational sponsors send samples to the JGI in prescribed format designed to easily incorporate into JGI’s Sanger production DNA sequencing line.

To apply for this program, you will need to read and accept the Agreement for Sequencing at the JGI.
