Direct linkDavid, Andrew A. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
The rise of "big data" within the biological sciences has resulted in an urgent demand for coding skills in the next generation of scientists. To address this issue, several institutions and departments across the country have incorporated coding into their curricula. I describe a coding module developed and deployed in an undergraduate…

Gupta, Yash Munnalal; Kirana, Satwika Nindya; Homchan, Somjit; Tanasarnpaiboon, Supatcharee – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the Bioinformatics course to switch from on-site teaching to remote learning. This shift has prompted a change in teaching methods and laboratory activities. Students need to have a basic understanding of DNA sequences and how to analyze them using custom scripts. To facilitate learning, we have modified the course…

Mariano, Diego; Martins, Pedro; Helene Santos, Lucianna; de Melo-?Minardi, Raquel Cardoso – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
The advent of the high-throughput next-generation sequencing produced a large number of biological data. Knowledge discovery from the huge amount of available biological data requires researchers to develop solid skills in biology and computer science. As the majority of the Bioinformatics professionals are either computer science or life sciences…

Del Toro, Israel; Dickson, Kimberly; Hakes, Alyssa S.; Newman, Shannon L. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Increasingly, students training in the biological sciences depend on a proper grounding in biological statistics, data science and experimental design. As biological datasets increase in size and complexity, transparent data management and analytical methods are essential skills for undergraduate biologists. We propose that using the software R…

Zurita, Adolfo R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2017
EvoluZion is a forward-in-time genetic simulator developed in Java and designed to perform real time simulations on the evolutionary history of virtual organisms. These model organisms harbour a set of 13 genes that codify an equal number of phenotypic features. These genes change randomly during replication, and mutant genes can have null,…

Honts, Jerry E. – Cell Biology Education, 2003
Recent advances in genomics and structural biology have resulted in an unprecedented increase in biological data available from Internet-accessible databases. In order to help students effectively use this vast repository of information, undergraduate biology students at Drake University were introduced to bioinformatics software and databases in…
