These are instructions for a 120-minute bioinformatics lab in which students will learn how to use the DNA Subway Blue Line workflow to determine the species of an organism using a DNA sequence.

This activity is appropriate for a broad audience with an introductory level experience with bioinformatics. The activity is designed for a computer lab setting with a class size between 10 and 50 students.
