Direct linkJinjie Liu; Christoph Benning – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide students with valuable opportunities to engage in research in a classroom setting, expanding access to research opportunities for undergraduates, fostering inclusive research and learning environments, and bridging the gap between the research and education communities. While…

Johnson, Kristen C.; Sabel, Jaime L.; Cole, Judith; Pruett, Christin L.; Plymale, Ruth; Reyna, Nathan S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
The need for changing how science is taught and the expansion of undergraduate research experiences is essential to foster critical thinking in the Natural Sciences. Most faculty research programs only involve a small number of upper-level undergraduate students each semester. The course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) model enables…

Oelkers, Peter M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
A single semester molecular biology laboratory has been developed in which students design and execute a project examining transcriptional regulation in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae." Three weeks of planning are allocated to developing a hypothesis through literature searches and use of bioinformatics. Common experimental plans address a…

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…

Nadolski, Jeremy; Smith, Lee Ann – PRIMUS, 2010
As technology and science advance, the boundary between the disciplines begins to blur, emphasizing that it is now, more than ever, a requirement to have a solid background in multiple fields to fully understand emerging scientific advances. As faculty, we need to equip our undergraduate students not only with an introduction to these modern…

R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2010
Genomics is not only essential for students to understand biology but also provides unprecedented opportunities for undergraduate research. The goal of the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP), a collaboration between a growing number of colleges and universities around the country and the Department of Biology and Genome Center of Washington…

Venema, Dennis R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2006
Laboratory exercises using "Drosophila" crosses are an effective pedagogical method to complement traditional lecture and textbook presentations of genetics. Undergraduate thesis research is another common setting for using "Drosophila." A significant barrier to using "Drosophila" for undergraduate teaching or research is the time and skill…

Peer reviewedMurfin, Brian – American Biology Teacher, 1998
Emphasizes the unique advantages of computer-mediated communication (CMC) for teaching genetics. CMC allows students to collect larger sample sizes than other methods and from any part of the world in a very short time. Describes hardware and software requirements, useful tools and techniques, and a sample project on human genetics for a…
