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…

Nichole Orench-Rivera; April Bednarski; Paul Craig; Austin Talbot – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2025
Advancements in computation and machine learning have revolutionized science, enabling researchers to address once insurmountable challenges. Bioinformatics, a field that heavily relies on computer-driven analysis of biological data, has greatly benefited from these developments. However, traditional bioinformatics instruction frequently lacks the…

Revelo, Oscar Sanchez; Collazos Ordonez, Cesar Alberto; Redondo, Miguel A.; Ibert Bittencourt Santana Pinto, Ig – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
The incorporation of collaborative work in the educational field grows day after day, as does the research associated with this topic. One of the most recurring problems faced by teachers who want to employ this learning strategy is the good students' group formation since this task can be complex both conceptually and computationally, especially…

Lin, Yu-Shih; Chang, Yi-Chun; Chu, Chih-Ping – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2016
The grouping problem is critical in collaborative learning (CL) because of the complexity and difficulty in adequate grouping, based on various grouping criteria and numerous learners. Previous studies have paid attention to certain research questions, and the consideration for a number of learner characteristics has arisen. Such a multi-objective…
