Bowling, Bethany; Zimmer, Erin; Pyatt, Robert E. – American Biology Teacher, 2014
Although the development of next-generation (NextGen) sequencing technologies has revolutionized genomic research and medicine, the incorporation of these topics into the classroom is challenging, given an implied high degree of technical complexity. We developed an easy-to-implement, interactive classroom activity investigating the similarities…

Dong, Xu; Xin, Yi; Ye, Li; Ma, Yufang – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2009
We have developed and implemented a serial experiment in molecular cloning laboratory course for undergraduate students majored in biotechnology. "Pseudomonas putida xylE" gene, encoding catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase, was manipulated to learn molecular biology techniques. The integration of cloning, expression, and enzyme assay gave students…

Areco, Maria Mar; dos Santos Afonso, Maria; Valdman, Erika – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
An experiment is conducted to promote biotechnology knowledge that is an emerging technology on cleaning treatment, showing the potential of seaweed to remove heavy-metal ions from solution. The rapid and accurate determination of zinc in aqueous solution by the zincon colorimetric method gives an interesting and simple experiment for any…
