Journal ArticleDOI

A Course-Based Research Experience: How Benefits Change with Increased Investment in Instructional Time

Christopher D. Shaffer, +88 more
TL;DR: While course-based research in genomics can generate both knowledge gains and a greater appreciation for how science is done, a significant investment of course time is required to enable students to show gains commensurate to a summer research experience.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drosophila Muller F Elements Maintain a Distinct Set of Genomic Properties Over 40 Million Years of Evolution

Wilson Leung, +1013 more
TL;DR: Comparing the Effective Number of Codons with the Codon Adaptation Index shows that, in contrast to the other species, codon bias in D. grimshawi F element genes can be attributed primarily to selection instead of mutational biases, suggesting that density and types of transposons affect the degree of local heterochromatin formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Central Support System Can Facilitate Implementation and Sustainability of a Classroom-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) in Genomics

David Lopatto, +72 more
TL;DR: A survey of 90-plus faculty members explores barriers and incentives when developing a research-based genomics course and indicates that a central core supporting a national experiment can help overcome local obstacles.
