Nanocourses: A Short Course Format as an Educational Tool in a Biological Sciences Graduate Curriculum [PDF]
CBE—Life Sciences Education, 2008 Traditional courses for graduate students in the biological sciences typically span a semester, are organized around the fundamental concepts of a single discipline, and are aimed at the needs of incoming students. Such courses demand significant time commitment from both faculty and course participants; thus, they are avoided by a subset of the ...

Biological Science Instructors' Use of Self-Evaluation Tools [PDF]
The American Biology Teacher, 1962 Self-evaluation procedures are of concern to at least two major groups of instructors in the biological sciences. The first group is represented by the professor with considerable teaching experience who believes his teaching could be more effective with increased attention to a diagnosis of what he is now doing and to a consideration of possible ...

Comparison of computational tools for protein-protein interaction (PPI) mapping and analysis [PDF]
, 2013 Several visualization tools for the mapping of protein-protein interactions have been developed in recent years. However, a systematic comparison of the virtues and limitations of different PPI visualization tools has not been carried out so far. In this

Evolutionary Algorithms in a Bacterial Consortium of Synthetic Bacteria
Algorithms, 2023 At present, synthetic biology applications are based on the programming of synthetic bacteria with custom-designed genetic circuits through the application of a top-down strategy. These genetic circuits are the programs that implement a certain algorithm,
