Exploring cystic fibrosis using bioinformatics tools: a module designed for the freshman biology course.

Abstract excerpt

We incorporated a bioinformatics component into the freshman biology course that allows students to explore cystic fibrosis (CF), a common genetic disorder, using bioinformatics tools and skills. Students learn about CF through searching genetic databases, analyzing genetic sequences, and observing the three-dimensional structures of proteins using a number of computational tools. We also use this opportunity to...
