Introduction

Select a topic about genetics or evolution in a specific organism or ecosystem.
Overall text length (all text sections) should be at least 1,000 words (before counting references), with at least 2 images.

The topic must include one section about microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protists). This is easy because all organisms and ecosystems have microbes.

Compose a title for your page.
Type your exact title in the Search window, then press Go. The MicrobeWiki will invite you to create a new page with this title.

Open the BIOL 116 Class 2024 template page in "edit."
Copy ALL the text from the edit window.
Then go to YOUR OWN page; edit tab. PASTE into your own page, and edit.

Section 1 Genetics

Section titles are optional.
Include some current research, with at least one image. Call out each figure by number (Fig. 1).

Sample citations: [1] [2]

A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.

[3]

For multiple use of the same inline citation or footnote, you can use the named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing [4]

[4]

Second citation of Ref 1: [1]

Here we cite April Murphy's paper on microbiomes of the Kokosing river. [5]

Section 2 Biome

Include some current research, with a second image.

Here we cite Murphy's microbiome research again.[5]

Section 3 Forming Dental Plaque

Conclusion

You may have a short concluding section. Overall, cite at least 5 references under References section.
