 ### History
 I was unaware of the immensely deep research history that the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and Marine Biology Laboratory have until I was tired of having my thinking cap on one evening and started looking around the amazing displays where I stumbled upon this.

 Check out this awesome Nobel prize they have on display near the Lillie Library, it was awarded to Thomas Hunt Morgan for his discovery of the role chromosomes play in heredity. Countless nobel laureates, defining figures in biology, and just amazing researchers had walked through these same halls that I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to as well. For a wild list of nobel laureates affiliated with the MBL check out [this page.](https://www.mbl.edu/about/history-archives/nobel-laureates)

 After Dr. Brown gave the basis of metagenomic asequencing and analysis it was time for my group to step up to the plate. My co-PI [Dr. Todd J. Treangen](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=N5irv88AAAAJ&hl=en) and STAMPS alumni / research scientist in the Treangen Lab [Dr. Michael G. Nute](https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=E1v2MBUAAAAJ) gave a very in-depth look into metagenomic assembly including a hands on demonstration of reference-based vs. de-novo assembly methods and also gave some insight into multiprocessing and how we as a class only ran our assembly on one core...
