Roberts; Meredith A. Shaddix; Bridgette N. Sullivan; Isabella M. Swan; Emily M. Hartsell; Jeffrey D. DeMeis; Sunita S. Paudel; Glen M. Borchert – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Today, due to the size of many genomes and the increasingly large sizes of sequencing files, independently analyzing sequencing data is largely impossible for a biologist with little to no programming expertise. As such, biologists are typically faced with the dilemma of either having to spend a significant amount of time and effort to learn how…

Tapprich, William E.; Reichart, Letitia; Simon, Dawn M.; Duncan, Garry; McClung, William; Grandgenett, Neal; Pauley, Mark A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The lack of an instructional definition of bioinformatics delays its effective integration into biology coursework. Using an iterative process, our team of biologists, a mathematician/computer scientist, and a bioinformatician together with an educational evaluation and assessment specialist, developed an instructional definition of the…

Andrea C. Bardales; Quynh Vo; Dmitry M. Kolpashchikov – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
It has been shown that active learning strategies are effective in teaching complex STEM concepts. In this study, we developed and implemented a laboratory experiment for teaching the concepts of Boolean logic gates, molecular beacon probes, molecular computing, DNA logic gates, microRNA, and molecular diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, which…

Gulson, Kalervo N.; Webb, P. Taylor – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
In this paper, we are interested in the notion of multiple ways of thinking, knowing and transforming life, namely an increasing capacity to intervene in "life" as a "molecular biopolitics," and the changing ways in which "life" can be understood computationally. We identify and speculate on the ways different ideas…

Pigliucci, Massimo; Boudry, Maarten – Science & Education, 2011
Genes are often described by biologists using metaphors derived from computational science: they are thought of as carriers of information, as being the equivalent of "blueprints" for the construction of organisms. Likewise, cells are often characterized as "factories" and organisms themselves become analogous to machines. Accordingly, when the…

Heyer, Laurie J. – PRIMUS, 2008
This article describes the sequence alignment problem in bioinformatics. Through examples, we formulate sequence alignment as an optimization problem and show how to compute the optimal alignment with dynamic programming. The examples and sample exercises have been used by the author in a specialized course in bioinformatics, but could be adapted…

Kiley, Thomas D. – Journal of the Patent Office Society, 1978
The Supreme Court is faced with some difficult issues with a common origin in disagreement between the Patent and Trademark Office and the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals over the code that defines what things are and are not patentable. The patent concerns of the computer software and molecular biology fields are addressed. (JMD)

Download full textTikekar, Rahul – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2006
A tool for teaching bioinformatics concepts to information systems majors is described. Biological data are available from numerous sources and a good knowledge of biology is needed to understand much of these data. As the subject of bioinformatics gains popularity among computer and information science course offerings, it will become essential…

Elwess, Nancy L.; Latourelle, Sandra M.; Cauthorn, Olivia – Journal of Biological Education, 2005
One of the hottest areas of science today is the field in which biology, information technology,and computer science are merged into a single discipline called bioinformatics. This field enables the discovery and analysis of biological data, including nucleotide and amino acid sequences that are easily accessed through the use of computers. As…

Dyer, Betsey Dexter; LeBlanc, Mark D. – Cell Biology Education, 2002
In the first of two National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded workshops, 30 professors of biology and computer science from 18 institutions met at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, on June 6-7, 2002, to share ideas on how to incorporate genomics research into undergraduate curricula. The participants included nine pairs or trios of…
