This research is taking place in Choco, Colombia in order to discover and characterize the genetic heritage of the Choco people. Researchers want to understand the health-related implications of genetic mixing that has occurred in the region for over the past 500 years. In addition to the research, Jordan is leading trainings for bioinformatics enthusiasts in Columbia to teach them to use databases and computer programs to analyze genomic information. Jordan will also be teaching and developing curriculum for a post-Bachelor specialization in bioinformatics at the Universidad Tecnologica del Choco.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERead the entire article here: \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.cos.gatech.edu\/content\/georgia-tech-facilitates-bioinformatics-push-colombia\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.cos.gatech.edu\/content\/georgia-tech-facilitates-bioinformatics-push-colombia\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"School of Biology\u0027s King Jordan receives award to assist capacity building."}],"uid":"32825","created_gmt":"2016-06-15 09:17:42","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:21:53","author":"Katie Sclafani","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-06-15T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2016-06-15T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"547741":{"id":"547741","type":"image","title":"Bioinformatics Photo","body":null,"created":"1466784000","gmt_created":"2016-06-24 16:00:00","changed":"1475895341","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:55:41","alt":"Bioinformatics Photo","file":{"fid":"92461","name":"pastedgraphic-1.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/pastedgraphic-1.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/pastedgraphic-1.png","mime":"image\/png","size":141824,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/pastedgraphic-1.png?itok=RiKnDJBk"}}},"media_ids":["547741"],"groups":[{"id":"1297","name":"Office of International Education"}],"categories":[{"id":"146","name":"Life Sciences and Biology"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
