Community development, implementation, and assessment of a NIBLSE bioinformatics sequence similarity learning resource.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
As powerful computational tools and 'big data' transform the biological sciences, bioinformatics training is becoming necessary to prepare the next generation of life scientists. Furthermore, because the tools and resources employed in bioinformatics are

Application of Graph Theory and Automata Modeling for the Study of the Evolution of Metabolic Pathways with Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle as Case Studies

open access: yesComputation, 2023
Today, graph theory represents one of the most important modeling techniques in biology. One of the most important applications is in the study of metabolic networks. During metabolism, a set of sequential biochemical reactions takes place, which convert

Artificial intelligence and biological misuse: Differentiating risks of language models and biological design tools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
As advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) propel progress in the life sciences, they may also enable the weaponisation and misuse of biological agents.

Citizen Science as a Tool in Biological Recording—A Case Study of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2018
Non-native invasive species frequently appear in urban and non-urban ecosystems and may become a threat to biodiversity. Some of these newcomers are introduced accidentally, and others are introduced through a sequence of events caused by conscious human decisions.

Citizen Science as a Tool to Get Baseline Ecological and Biological Data on Sharks and Rays in a Data-Poor Region

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
The Mexican Caribbean is in one of the regions with the greatest diversity of elasmobranchs in the world. However, the population status of most of the shark and ray species in this region is unknown. We used a citizen science program based on divers to collect data about the diversity, abundance, and distribution of elasmobranchs in this region.

Applications of CRISPR-Cas9 as an Advanced Genome Editing System in Life Sciences

open access: yesBioTech, 2021
Targeted nucleases are powerful genomic tools to precisely change the target genome of living cells, controlling functional genes with high exactness. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) genome

Appraisal of ozone as biologically active molecule and experimental tool in biomedical sciences

open access: yesMedicinal Chemistry Research, 2010
Ozone (O3) (CAS 10028-15-6) is a major air industrial pollutant and is well known for its very strong oxidative actions which affords the molecule its useful antimicrobial and deodorizing properties, but also its potential toxic effects. Knowledge of the activity and safety of ozone is important if its potential for use as a biologically active agent ...

Biological X-ray absorption spectroscopy (BioXAS): a valuable tool for the study of trace elements in the life sciences [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2008
Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) the binding modes (type and number of ligands, distances and geometry) and oxidation states of metals and other trace elements in crystalline as well as non-crystalline samples can be revealed. The method may be applied to biological systems as a 'stand-alone' technique, but it is particularly powerful when ...

Interactive Computer Simulations as Pedagogical Tools in Biology Labs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Student learning in biology may be impaired by instructional environments that emphasize technical methodology over analysis. We hypothesized that time gained by experimenting with accurate computer simulations could be used to engage students in ...
