Alyuruk, Hakan; Cavas, Levent – Journal of Biological Education, 2014
Genomics and proteomics projects have produced a huge amount of raw biological data including DNA and protein sequences. Although these data have been stored in data banks, their evaluation is strictly dependent on bioinformatics tools. These tools have been developed by multidisciplinary experts for fast and robust analysis of biological data.…

Ramage, Thomas – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2011
Today's society is marked by massive political, social, and scientific transformations on a daily basis. However, these transformations are rarely discussed in the context of what it means to be an educated person. Our efforts to forecast, even for periods as little as five or ten years out, have been predicated on the assumption that the current…

Yoo, Hyun Seung; Smith-Jackson, Tonya L. – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2011
Although the influence of colour on size perception has been known for a century, there is only limited research on interventions that can reduce this effect. This study was therefore undertaken in order to identify appropriate interventions and propose design guidelines for information visualisation, especially in applications where size…

Hancock, Dale; Nguyen, Lisa L.; Denyer, Gareth S.; Johnston, Jill M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2006
A microarray experiment is presented that, in six laboratory sessions, takes undergraduate students from the tissue sample right through to data analysis. The model chosen, the murine erythroleukemia cell line, can be easily cultured in sufficient quantities for class use. Large changes in gene expression can be induced in these cells by…

Carlton, Kevin; Nicholls, Mike; Ponsonby, David – Journal of Biological Education, 2004
Some aspects of biology, for example the Hardy-Weinberg simulation of population genetics or modelling heat flow in lizards, have an undeniable mathematical basis. Students can find the level of mathematical skill required to deal with such concepts to be an insurmountable hurdle to understanding. If not used effectively, spreadsheet models…
