participation? The Task Managers will screen the participants for the various tasks. To begin with, motivation is a major screening criteria. Does the programme run only for 4 months in
colleges or it will continue thereafter? What is the number of
minimum & maximum number of students from each college?The program is synchronized with the students looking for projects in various national laboratories. Since, most of the projects start in December/January and end in April/May, we have alloted a time period of four months for this project. However, genome annoation is a complex excercise and will be extended to other biological features of the organism once we are able to successfully annotate the currently listed activities.
