<p><strong>Environmental Factors, Inducible Promoters, and Gene Expression</strong>
<br />This lesson on environmental influences of gene expression was originally developed
by a geneticist-teacher team in the American Society of Human Genetics’ Geneticist-Educator
Network of Alliances (GENA) program: Sara Dozier (School of Science and Technology
at San Diego High, CA) and Brinda Rana (University of California San Diego, CA). GENA
was an NSF-funded partnership program that encouraged teams to build existing resources
into inquiry-based lessons that use a learning cycle and address known student misconceptions
in genetics. The <a href="/en-us/product/pglo-bacterial-transformation-kit">Bio-Rad
pGLO transformation kit</a> is the perfect tool for students studying gene expression
in the context of genes responding to environmental stimuli.</p>
