Zeke T. Spooner; Angela M. Encerrado-Manriquez; Tina T. Truong; Sascha C. T. Nicklisch – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We created a 2-week, dual-module summer course introducing high school students to environmental toxicology by teaching them quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) as a way to quantify gene expression of chemical defense proteins in response to exposure to environmental pollutants. During the course, students are guided through the various…

Kocemba-Pilarczyk, Kinga A.; Bentke-Imiolek, Anna; Dudzik, Paulina – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The aim of this online workshop is to familiarize biomedical faculties students with the principle of RT-PCR method. The following assumption is made, students participating in the workshop: (1) are already familiar with the principle of PCR reaction; (2) can distinguish PCR from RT-PCR; (3) know the basic possibilities of using the above…

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…

Welham, Nathan V.; Marriott, Gerard; Bless, Diane M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: Proteomic methodologies offer promise in elucidating the systemwide cellular and molecular processes that characterize normal and diseased thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle. This study examined methodological issues central to the application of 2-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D SDS-PAGE) to the study of…
