The DNA Landscape: Development and Application of a New Framework for Visual Communication about DNA
Wright, L. Kate; Wrightstone, Emalee; Trumpore, Lauren; Steele, Julia; Abid, Deanna M.; Newman, Dina L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Learning molecular biology involves using visual representations to communicate ideas about largely unobservable biological processes and molecules. Genes and gene expression cannot be directly visualized, but students are expected to learn and understand these and related concepts. Theoretically, textbook illustrations should help learners master…

In this paper, we present two methods for overcoming this limitation, one through the use…
