Southern blot analysis is an important molecular biology technique for identifying a specific sequence in DNA samples. Although it is no longer used extensively in recent years, the steps and underlying principles of Southern blot are applicable to modern biology. High sensitivity and limited background are keys to successful Southern blots,…

Salido, Aaron Gálvez; Navajas-Pérez, Rafael – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Idiograms are graphical representations in which chromosomes appear ordered by their relative size, homology groups, and the presence of cytogenetic landmarks such as centromeres, secondary constrictions, and banding patterns. They have become crucial elements in cytogenetic research. Here, we describe a simple protocol for spreadsheet software to…

Tsirgiotis, Joanna M.; Young, Robyn L.; Weber, Nathan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Growing evidence suggests that autistic females are more likely to be diagnostically overlooked than males, perhaps due to differences in ASD presentations (van Wijngaarden-Cremers in JAMA 44:627-635, 2014). To investigate specific behaviours in which differences lie, we analysed profiles of 777 children using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale…

Saldarriaga, Wilmar; González-Teshima, Laura Yuriko; Forero-Forero, Jose Vicente; Tang, Hiu-Tung; Tassone, Flora – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) has a classic phenotype, however its expression can be variable among full mutation males. This is secondary to variable methylation mosaicisms and the number of CGG triplet repeats in the non-coding region of the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 ("FMR1") gene, producing a variable expression of the Fragile X…

Lowe, Roy – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2022
It is well established that intelligence testing in its modern form developed and was deployed slightly differently in several countries, most notably France, England and the United States. Less widely recognized is the fact that its originators were all part of a close network of scholars who liaised internationally, exchanged ideas and were…

Tan, Mei; Markov, Ilya; Mourgues, Catalina; Grigorenko, Elena L. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
While the predictive power of genetic information is not yet strong enough to apply to individuals in the classroom, this study aimed to explore how genetic information may be received in educational settings as a potentially important source of individual differences in academic achievement and learning difficulties. Focus group discussions with…

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…

Textbooks are essential learning resources for both teachers and students, but they often contain misconceptions that can affect students' understanding of key concepts, particularly in biology. Misconceptions can arise from inaccurate or incomplete information, and they may lead to incorrect conceptual understanding. The clarity and accuracy of…

Hannah K. Parker; Beth Zizzamia; Julie A. Pollock – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
In a typical undergraduate biochemistry course, two main educational objectives include (1) understanding and applying how genetic mutations can influence protein structure and function, and (2) examining metabolic pathways of biomolecules to study cellular storage and fuel. Many times, these topics can seem disparate to students; therefore, we…

Beyza Okan; Devrim Güven – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2025
Socio-scientific issues (SSI) are contentious social issues that relate to science and technology. Despite the fact that socioscientific issues are typically seen as a single entity, they possess multifaceted characteristics. All university students, regardless of their major, should be prepared to analyze complex socio-scientific issues and…

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…

Purpose: Communication complexity and communicative function are important features of prelinguistic communication that are related to later language outcomes. However, little is known about how these early prelinguistic features present in young children with neurogenetic syndromes (NGS). This study aims to characterize prelinguistic complexity…

Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS), caused by "SHANK3" haploinsufficiency, lacks natural history data. We report the trajectory of adaptive behavior from a prospective, longitudinal, natural history study. English-speaking people aged 3-21 years with a PMS molecular diagnosis were followed over 2 years. We analyzed longitudinal Vineland…

This study examines secondary students' understanding of epigenetics, focusing on their scientific representations from a chemical perspective. The purpose was to identify common misconceptions and assess how technological interventions can enhance students' conceptual models of epigenetics. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating…

Quantitative methods have a long historical entanglement with oppressive ideologies, including eugenics, white supremacism, and anti-LGBTQ+ ideology. Increasingly, scholars have made attempts at rectifying quantitative methods by bringing them into conversation with critical theoretical frameworks. One such example is QuantCrit, which attempts to…
