This document provides instructions for hands-on genetics exercises to identify coding sequences unique to Phytophthora. Students will analyze RNA-Seq reads assembled into the P. sojae reference sequence to discover transcripts. They will then annotate the sequences by blasting against gene models and databases to determine if they represent new genes or correct errors in other organism's gene models. The goal is to find a coding sequence that is unique in Phytophthora.
