Schools registration for 25 Genomes has now closed.
Students will still be able to log in to the site using social media to ASK questions. However, applications for schools to take part in Live Chats are now closed.
You can register for the main I’m a Scientist and I’m an Engineer projects.
About 25 Genomes
Your students decide which of nature’s genomes get sequenced next!
25 new genomes are being decoded by the Wellcome Sanger Institute to mark its 25th anniversary. Your students are going to choose 5 of them.
Between 6th November - 8th December, an enthusiastic team of scientists and wildlife experts will each champion a species they think should have its entire DNA sequence decoded. We need your students to read their pitches, get to know the species and vote for which species genetic code they want to see fully unravelled for the first time.
The project will give your students access to scientists working at the cutting edge of genomics and conservation, and a unique insight into the most advanced DNA techniques in the world.
Your students can log in anytime throughout this 5 week event to ASK questions about each species in the competition. Your class will also have a 30 minute live CHAT to talk with these “species” and VOTE for the species they want to be sequenced as part of Wellcome Sanger Institute’s 25 Genomes.
The winning species in each Zone will have it’s entire DNA sequence decoded by the Wellcome Sanger Institute!
We’ll give you resources to help brief your students on the event and help them understand more about DNA and genomics.
Apply for this exciting one-off project by Friday 29th September.
