From gene to protein: IRF6 has a job
How this session lines up with the PLTW curriculum and the WebXam for each class it touches, including the vocabulary, concepts, and skills you share.
The classes below may be taught in different terms. This research track runs all year with HOSA, so a connection means the ideas line up, not that the class meets this week.
GenD's molecular biology covers transcription and translation, gene to protein.
072130 Genetics of Disease
Domain: Bio-Molecular Technology
This session is the gene-to-protein path GenD teaches, focused on IRF6.
- gene mirrors: Genes code for proteins
- mutation mirrors: Mutations and their effects
- transcription factor mirrors: How genes are regulated
- phenotype mirrors: Genotype to phenotype
PBS introduces DNA and proteins and what genes make.
072110 Principles and Practice of Biomedical Technology
Domain: Biotechnology Research and Experiments
PBS's DNA-and-proteins lesson is the foundation for IRF6's job here.
- fusion mirrors: How structures form and join during development
