  1. Integrating Bioinformatics into the Life Sciences – Phase 2 Mark Pauley and Bill Tapprich Group #2: Integration

  2. Integrating Bioinformatics into the Life Sciences – Phase 2 • NSF TUES Phase 2 Award (#1122971; 2011 - 2015) • Goals: • Permanently modify the biology curriculum at three diverse institutions; • Develop a repository of curated “student-friendly” data and computational tools; • Vertically integrate the bioinformatics-focused laboratories through several levels of complexity; and • Disseminate the bioinformatics-focused laboratories through publisher’s resources. • Participating Institutions: • University of Nebraska at Omaha: Large (> 15,000), public, metropolitan, Doctoral/Research (Carnegie classification) • University of Nebraska at Kearney: Mid-sized (5,000 – 15,000), public, rural, Master’s Large • Nebraska Wesleyan University (Lincoln, NE): Small (< 5,000), private, Baccalaureate/A&S

  3. Bioinformatics-focused Laboratories • Have a narrative that presents the problem and introduces the topic; • Structured exercises that sequentially address questions posed by the laboratory. • Make use of publicly available bioinformatics tools as well as curated data sets. • Additional labs under development: • Dotplots, Paralogs and Orthologs • Exploring Ancient Genomes • Phylogenetic Analysis of Microorganisms • Tetrapod Evolution *To be presented on 18 June at ABLE 2014.

  4. Assessment • Expert review • Student focus groups • Pre/posttest developed by the project team and validated by experts on the evaluation team.

  5. Project Website: http://ccli.ist.unomaha.edu Lecture Modules (from CCLI Type 1) Laboratories (current project) Curated tools (linked and mirrored) Curated data

  6. UNO Undergraduate Bioinformatics (BIOI) Major • Established 2004; first graduate in 2005 • Offered simultaneously by the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) and the College of Information Science & Technology (IS&T) • 55 current majors. Graduates: 50% med. school/40% grad. school/10% work • Curriculum (other requirements depend on college)
