Conceptual Variation in the Depiction of Gene Function in Upper Secondary School Textbooks
Science & Education, 2010Co-Authors: Niklas Gericke, Mariana HagbergAbstract:This paper explores conceptual variation in the depiction of Gene Function in upper secondary school textbooks. Historically, concepts in Genetics have developed in various scientific frameworks, which has led to a level of incommensurability as concepts have changed over time within their respective frameworks. Since students may have difficulties in understanding concepts where there is implicit variation in descriptions of the same phenomena, we have developed a concept mapping instrument and applied it to study the Gene Function concepts in biology and chemistry textbooks that are widely used in Sweden, and others used in a selection of English speaking countries. The data were then further examined using content analysis. In the present paper we describe the conceptual variation of Gene Function as it is presented in the textbooks, and analyze the ways in which students’ understanding may be influenced. We conclude that it may be difficult for students to gain a modern, process-oriented understanding of Gene Function if textbooks are used as foundations for the planning and execution of lessons.

Metabonomics: A platform for studying drug toxicity and Gene Function
Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 2002Co-Authors: Jeremy K Nicholson, John C Lindon, John Connelly, E. HolmesAbstract:The later that a molecule or molecular class is lost from the drug development pipeline, the higher the financial cost. Minimizing attrition is therefore one of the most important aims of a pharmaceutical discovery programme. Novel technologies that increase the probability of making the right choice early save resources, and promote safety, efficacy and profitability. Metabonomics is a systems approach for studying in vivo metabolic profiles, which promises to provide information on drug toxicity, disease processes and Gene Function at several stages in the discovery-and-development process.
