Encyclopedias of regulatory genomic elements provide a foundation for research in areas such as disease diagnosis, disease treatment, and crop enhancement. The construction of complete encyclopedias of organism-specific genomic elements involved in gene regulation remains a significant challenge. To address this problem, the authors present novel bioinformatics strategies for exploring the word landscapes of putative regulatory regions of genomes. The methods are incorporated into the WordSeeker software tool, which is available at http://***. The effectiveness of these strategies is demonstrated through several case studies.

Through the team's community of scholars, this paper describes the pedagogical details of an on-going NSF department of Undergraduate Education (DUE) project that commenced in the fall 2004 semester. Fostering deep learning, this multi-year project offers a new active-learning and hands-on laboratory program that is interdisciplinary, in which engineering, geoscience, and meteorology students are encouraged to actively participate. As discussed in a report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, about 1/3 of the nation's $10 trillion dollar economy is influenced by weather. Storm cells, tornadoes, and hazardous weather cause damage and loss that could be minimized through enhanced radar and longer warning lead times. To study these topics, the program has generated a unique, interdisciplinary research-oriented learning environment that will train future engineers and meteorologists in the full set of competencies needed to take raw radar data and transform it into meaningful interpretations of weather phenomena. The heart of the program is the development, implementation and refinement of a set of several undergraduate courses and laboratory modules that are offered by the Schools of Meteorology and electrical & computerengineering, that provides hands-on experiences in the special knowledge and skills necessary for organizing real-time weather data, improving and preparing that data for display, and interpreting its meteorological and scientific significance. In addition, programs for middle school teachers have been generated for the purpose of increasing their students' interest in science and engineering prior to entering college. The principal investigators have partnered with a major statewide climatology office during the summers of 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 to adapt and implement project materials directly to middle school teachers via its Earthstorm outreach program. Finally, an assessment plan has been devised by a nationally known expert who specializes in
Undergraduate computer and electricalengineeringprograms often partition the curriculum into several courses based on related topics taught in isolation. Students are expected to synthesize their knowledge in a seni...
