About the Biological Concepts
Covered in this Workshop
Lecture 2.1

3. Biological Concept Map
An exercise to get us started....
Take out the workshop schedule provided as part of the handout for Lecture 2.1
Can you identify the major biological concepts covered in each of the workshop sessions?
Make some notes on the schedule about any questions you have about these biological concepts
Lecture 2.1

4. Here’s an Example of a Biological Concept Map for Week 1…
How does sequence
similarity imply function?
What kinds of large scale
data analyses are needed?
Why is evolution
so important?
What is phylogeny?
How do we define data types for
complex biological data?
What does knowing the sequence
of a genome enable?
Biology has an exception
to every rule
How does sequencing technology work?
What are genome sequences?
What are genes?
Lecture 2.1

5. Here’s an Example of a Biological Concept Map for Week 2…
What is transcription?
How are genes expressed?
What about populations?
What can gene expression
data tell us?
What about variations?
What is the difference between the
genome in GenBank and my genome?
Can we draw all the connections
that happen in a cell?
Can we make models of cells?
What is translation?
What kinds of questions
can you ask with the genome
of an organism?
Why is protein structure
so important?
What are RNA genes?
How does RNA fit into the
Central Dogma of Biology?
