Workshop for returning teachers: Introduction to Genomics and Bioinformatics - Lab-6, October 15th 2025

This workshop is for returning ABE teachers and their students. Bioinformatics is the use of computers, statistics and online software to analyse genetic information from different organisms. It is biological research done on computers instead of in a wet lab. This lab will introduce this cutting edge area of research and describe some of its uses. The lab contains lots of hands-on activities including a food detective scenario which uses the online BLAST database to uncover how many different animals' DNA was in a supermarket sausage.

This workshop contains a peer learning element. On the advice of the teachers who helped design and pilot ABE Ireland Lab 6 we invite teachers to bring two or three students with them to the training workshop. These students can then help co-deliver Lab 6 in school by helping their peers navigate the websites and online databases used in bioinformatics activities.
