Goin-Kochel, Robin P.; Trinh, Sandy; Barber, Shelley; Bernier, Raphael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Approximately one-third of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) reportedly lose skills within the first 3 years, yet a causal mechanism remains elusive. Considering evidence of strong genetic effects for ASD and findings that distinct phenotypes in ASD associate with specific genetic events, we examined rates of parent-reported regression…

Domingue, Benjamin W.; Trejo, Sam; Armstrong-Carter, Emma; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Interest in the study of gene-environment interaction has recently grown due to the sudden availability of molecular genetic data--in particular, polygenic scores--in many long-running longitudinal studies. Identifying and estimating statistical interactions comes with several analytic and inferential challenges; these challenges are heightened…

Allbee, Quinn; Barber, Robert – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Biology is a data-driven discipline facilitated greatly by computer programming skills. This article describes an introductory experiential programming activity that can be integrated into distance learning environments. Students are asked to develop their own Python programs to identify the nature of alleles linked to disease. This activity…

Brenner, Eric D.; Scheid, Paul E.; DeGrazia, Justin; Geltzeiler, Alexa R.; Katari, Manpreet S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Due to its distinct phenotype and relatively simple inheritance pattern, the phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) loci is frequently utilized in teaching laboratories to demonstrate genetic concepts such as Mendelian inheritance and population genetics. We have developed a next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics approach to analyze the PTC gene locus…

Cebesoy, Umran Betul – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
One crucial characteristic of scientifically literate individuals is making informed decisions in socioscientific issues (SSI). Participants' reasoning patterns and their risk perceptions shape their decisions. Thus, determining participants' informal reasoning patterns along with their risk perceptions while making decisions in SSI becomes…

Flores, Rosemary Q.; Morgan, Phyllis; Rivera, Linda; Clark, Christine – Education Sciences, 2019
This article examined the success of broadly defined family engagement activities of Latinx parents of students at Gene Ward Elementary School. Gene Ward Elementary School is a part of the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, Nevada. This article is based on a larger study of parent and family member participants in these activities at 25…

Edwards, Baylee A.; Roberts, Julie A.; Bowen, Chloe; Brownell, Sara E.; Barnes, M. Elizabeth – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Bioethics is an important aspect of understanding the relationship between science and society, but studies have not yet examined undergraduate student experiences and comfort in bioethics courses. In this study, we investigated undergraduate bioethics students' support of and comfort when learning three controversial bioethics topics: gene…

Reiss, Michael J. – School Science Review, 2020
School genetics is changing. Nowadays, students are more likely to be introduced to the idea that many characteristics of organisms, including those of humans, are not determined by the actions of just one or two genes but result from interactions between the products of many genes and the environments of each organism. This article asks whether…

María-Pilar López-Garrido; María-Carmen Carrascosa-Romero; Minerva Montero-Hernández; Jesús Ruiz-Almansa; Francisco Sánchez-Sánchez – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
"ATRX" mutations are commonly associated with alpha-thalassaemia mental retardation syndrome (ATR-X syndrome) with a notable variable expressivity. This X-linked disorder is characterized by intellectual disability (ID) in a higher or lesser degree, in which the alpha-thalassaemia feature is not always present. Other phenotypic…

Robinson, Holly; Pozzo-Miller, Lucas – Learning & Memory, 2019
Gene transcription is a crucial step in the sequence of molecular, synaptic, cellular, and systems mechanisms underlying learning and memory. Here, we review the experimental evidence demonstrating that alterations in the levels and functionality of the methylated DNA-binding transcriptional regulator MeCP2 are implicated in the learning and…

Linpeng Li; Chao Song; Yi Ma; Yi Zou – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Animal models are widely used in laboratory practicals in biomedical disciplines. However, experiments involving animal work are usually time-and-labor consuming. It is also costly to run an animal lab and the animal caring/holding request special training. Here we present a laboratory course design that provides students with wet lab experience…

Konnor Brennan – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This dissertation aimed to advance the field of biology education in several ways. First, we aimed to demonstrate if, and to what extent, student-generated conceptual models can be used on summative assessments to accurately assess student understanding of gene expression. Next, we described patterns of changes students make to conceptual models…

A. Eliot Shearer – Volta Review, 2023
The past fifteen years has seen a dramatic improvement in our understanding of hearing and hearing loss. Scientists have worked to identify dozens of genes involved in hearing loss and elucidate the complex molecular machinery responsible for hearing. At the same time, there have been rapid advances in clinical diagnostic tools including imaging…

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…
