This is a template which you can use to help get you started on the wiki submission. It is just intended as a guide and you may modify the structure to suit your project.

Contributors

• Name and what department each person was in.
• Student or staff partner?
• How was each person involved?
• What rough dates did they contribute?
• Anabel Varela Carver, Department of Surgery & Cancer. Staff partner from October 2021.
• Joana Dos Santos, Department of Surgery & Cancer. Staff partner from October 2021.

Aims & Learning Outcomes

• Explain the motivation for your visualisation.

• Introduce the subject of your visualisation.
• Which module and year is it intended for and which setting (lecture or self study)?
• List learning outcomes. E.g.: "After using this visualisation, students should be able to explain that..."

This visualisations is intended for self-study to support iBSc Cancer Frontiers Module 1 teaching (q-PCR principles, data analysis and application to an experiment involving cancer cells)

Intended Learning Outcome:

After using this visualisation, students should be able to explain how changes in Ct values from a q-PCR experiment relate to changes in the numbers of copies of a gene that a cell contains (for example, a cancer cell upon treatment with a drug).

Design Overview

• What the final outcome was, how it looks, how it functions etc.
• Include graphics.
• Do not include justification or design progression, leave this for later sections.
