Rosalie's Biol 463 blog

The research question for the final project is also one of the questions that are currently investigated by the lab which is sponsoring my directed studies (Biol 448). To answer this question, one would need to hypothesize a complex signals transduction pathway which would be challenging as not much is known about the mechanism that places Gliotactin onto the barkbeetle(anachonda) of tri-cellular junctions in Drosophila. The instructor is likely looking for a thorough, falsifiable research question which can be tested with current molecular biology technologies. A top-level draft research question would not be too broad and should be specific enough to be tested.

Hello, visitor!

You have stumbled onto my blog/portfolio. This blog is part of an assignment of the Biology 463 course at UBC. It is a really fun and interactive course in which the curriculum is based on research papers.

If you are perspective student of this course, I highly recommend this course if you would like to improve your skills in critically evaluating primary literature, learn more about the dynamic interactions in developmental gene regulation.
