Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.8K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Human Genetics

1.8K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs01:23

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

1.2K
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

Pharmacogenetics of Drug Targets: β₂-Adrenergic Receptors, Apo E, Thymidylate Synthase01:11

Pharmacogenetics of Drug Targets: β₂-Adrenergic Receptors, Apo E, Thymidylate Synthase

56
Genetic polymorphisms in drug targets have emerged as critical determinants of interindividual variability in drug response and toxicity. Pharmacogenomic investigations increasingly focus on identifying these variations to personalize and optimize therapeutic interventions. A drug target may be a receptor, enzyme, or signaling protein involved in pharmacologic responses or disease-related pathways. While early pharmacogenetic studies focused primarily on drug metabolism, current research...

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

69.6K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants01:27

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

62
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Higher Education
  • Web Design

Background:

  • Prospective students rely on educational program websites for application decisions.
  • Understanding website impact is crucial for genetic counseling programs to attract applicants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of genetic counseling educational program websites on applicant decisions.
  • To compare student and program director perspectives on website importance.

Main Methods:

  • Online surveys administered to current students and recent graduates of genetic counseling programs.
  • Surveys also sent to program directors (directors, assistant directors, associate directors).
  • Statistical analyses including Chi square, t-tests, and thematic analysis were employed.

Main Results:

  • Students prioritize easy navigation, website content, and overall website impression.
  • Program directors underestimated the importance of application requirement information for students.
  • Website usability issues deterred some students from applying to specific programs.

Conclusions:

  • Improving website functionality, particularly clear presentation of application requirements, can enhance applicant retention.
  • Genetic counseling programs should optimize their websites to meet student expectations and needs.
  • Addressing website usability is vital for successful recruitment in genetic counseling education.
