Julio G. Soto; Rachael French; Sulekha Anand – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We developed an advanced, year-long course sequence in eukaryotic cell and molecular biology in order to increase conceptual understanding. Three years of historical data from a one semester, traditional-lecture, senior cell and molecular biology course (n = 237) were compared with 3 years of data collected from the year-long course sequence (n =…

Self-Directed Student Research through Analysis of Microarray Datasets: A Computer-Based Functional Genomics Practical Class for Masters-Level Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Grenville-Briggs, Laura J.; Stansfield, Ian – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2011
This report describes a linked series of Masters-level computer practical workshops. They comprise an advanced functional genomics investigation, based upon analysis of a microarray dataset probing yeast DNA damage responses. The workshops require the students to analyse highly complex transcriptomics datasets, and were designed to stimulate…

Vertical and Horizontal Integration of Bioinformatics Education: A Modular, Interdisciplinary Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Furge, Laura Lowe; Stevens-Truss, Regina; Moore, D. Blaine; Langeland, James A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2009
Bioinformatics education for undergraduates has been approached primarily in two ways: introduction of new courses with largely bioinformatics focus or introduction of bioinformatics experiences into existing courses. For small colleges such as Kalamazoo, creation of new courses within an already resource-stretched setting has not been an option.…
