Through the lens of model-based reasoning, this work explores and uncovers important differences in how experts and novices conceptualize and reason about genes and gene expression. Findings from this work will help inform future research into the development and refinement of mental models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
