This is a companion training guide for BioDIGS, a GDSCN project that brings a research experience into the classroom. In this module, students will investigate whether metagenomic samples from the BioDIGS project contain antimicrobial resistance genes. They will run analyses using ABRicate as implemented on Galaxy. Visit the BioDIGS (BioDiversity and Informatics for Genomics Scholars) website here for more information about this collaborative, distributed research project, including how you can get involved!
The GDSCN (Genomics Data Science Community Network) is a consortium of educators who aim to create a world where researchers, educators, and students from diverse backgrounds are able to fully participate in genomic data science research. You can find more information about its mission and initiatives here.

The activity in this guide are written for undergraduate students and beginning graduate students.
The activities in this guide are demonstrated on NHGRI's AnVIL cloud computing platform. AnVIL is the preferred computing platform for the GDSCN. However, all of these activities can be done using the online Galaxy portal.
The data generated by the BioDIGS project is available as an R package (BioDIGSData, https://github.com/fhdsl/BioDIGSData), through the BioDIGS website, or through an AnVIL workspace.
Data about the soil itself as well as soil metal content was generated by the Delaware Soil Testing Program at the University of Delaware. Sequences were generated by the Johns Hopkins University Genetic Resources Core Facility and by PacBio.
