Trofimova, Ellina; Asgharzadeh Kangachar, Shahla; Weynberg, Karen D.; Willows, Robert D.; Jaschke, Paul R. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
With the global increase of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, there is an urgent need for new methods of tackling the issue. Genomic analysis of bacterial strains can help to understand their virulence and antibiotic resistance profile. Bioinformatic skills are in great demand across the biological sciences. We designed…

Sun, Hao; Wang, Pinmei; Li, Yudong – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Abstract Microbiome study requires both molecular techniques and bioinformatics skills, which are challenging for biologists to participate in this growing field. To introduce microbiome concepts and skills to students, a 6-week wet-lab and bioinformatics course for undergraduates was implemented through the project-based learning (PBL) approach.…

Immersive Virtual Reality for Supporting Complex Scientific Knowledge: Augmenting Our Understanding with Physiological Monitoring
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lui, Michelle; McEwen, Rhonda; Mullally, Martha – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Educators are recognizing the potential power of immersive virtual reality (IVR) to allow learners to experience previously intangible firsthand phenomena, such as atoms and molecules. In this study, an IVR simulation of a complex gene regulation system was co-designed with an undergraduate microbiology course instructor. The course, with 234…

Teaching the Fluctuation Test "In Silico" by Using Mutate: A Program to Distinguish between the Adaptive and Spontaneous Mutation Hypotheses
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carvajal-Rodriguez, Antonio – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2012
Mutate is a program developed for teaching purposes to impart a virtual laboratory class for undergraduate students of Genetics in Biology. The program emulates the so-called fluctuation test whose aim is to distinguish between spontaneous and adaptive mutation hypotheses in bacteria. The plan is to train students in certain key multidisciplinary…

GENMAP--A Microbial Genetics Computer Simulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Day, M. J.; And Others – Journal of Biological Education, 1985
An interactive computer program in microbial genetics is described. The simulation allows students to work at their own pace and develop understanding of microbial techniques as they choose donor bacterial strains, specify selective media, and interact with demonstration experiments. Sample questions and outputs are included. (DH)
