BioQuest: Gamified software for teaching molecular biology

A Dialogue-based Software Architecture for Gamified Discrimination Tests

In this work we describe the current stage of development of a software architecture designed to present discrimination tests to pre-school children in the form of gamified tasks. We interpret the problem of administering these tests as a dialogue model using probabilistic rules to generate customised tests on the basis of the child’s performance. In the proposed architecture, the dialogue syst...

Software agents in molecular computational biology

Progress made in applying agent systems to molecular computational biology is reviewed and strategies by which to exploit agent technology to greater advantage are investigated. Communities of software agents could play an important role in helping genome scientists design reagents for future research. The advent of genome sequencing in cattle and swine increases the complexity of data analysis...

Role of Haptics in Teaching Structural Molecular Biology

Physical models such as ball-and-stick have long been used in teaching basic chemistry and structural molecular biology. As the size and complexity of known molecular structures increases, it is difficult if not impossible to show all of their features in a physical model alone. Recent advances in automated model fabrication technology now afford physical models of more complex molecular struct...
