Description

Old VersionNew Version
1<p>The following modules are from a pre-print version of the &quot;Sequence Similarity: An inquiry based and &quot;under the hood&quot; approach for incorporating molecular sequence alignment in introductory undergraduate biology courses&quot; learning resource accepted for publication in CourseSource, which is currently in press.</p>  1<p>This exercise integrates bioinformatics with developmental biology, and provides an introduction regarding how to use bioinformatics to assess sequence similarities. The implications of these similarities provides students with a basic understanding of how model organisms can provide useful information regarding human health and disease.</p>

3<p>This laboratory module, leads introductory biology students in the exploration of a basic set of bioinformatics concepts and tools. The exercise utilizes simple paper models to help students understand matrices and algorithms prior to use of web-based computational tools. Students start the module by defining sequence similarity and then investigating how similarity can be quantitatively compared between two similar length proteins using a BLOSUM scoring matrix. Students then consider finding local regions of similarity between a sequence query and subjects within a large database using BLAST. Lastly, students practice accessing FASTA formatted sequence information via NCBI databases as they collect sequences for a multiple sequence alignment in order to generate a phylogenetic tree.</p>
