Welcome to the Wikiversity Gene project.

Summary

Participants in this project explore genes, or specific isoforms.

Learning materials

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the resource (resources are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

You should also read about the Wikiversity:Learning model. Resources should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple projects. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Texts

A search on the full web or at Wikibooks will provide you with quite a variety of texts on genes.

Activities

Readings

At the bottom of this project resource is a template entitled "Gene project", which contains lectures, articles, activities, quizzes and other readings and activities.

A1BG

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. The transcription mechanism for A1BG can be found.

Control groups

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[5]
