Note that the first semester of Lehigh's SEA-PHAGES course (in situ: phage hunting) is offered in the spring semester to first year students. The second course (annotation and independent research projects) is offered to sophomores (and others) who continue from the previous spring semester. No sequencing is expected for this section. Instead sequencing will be performed during the summer 2015 after the spring in situ semester. Number of in situ sections for Spring 2015 will be determined by January 2015.
