Personalized Genetic Testing as a Tool for Integrating Ethics Instruction into Biology Courses

Personalized genetic testing (PGT) has been used by some educational institutions as a pedagogical tool for teaching human genetics. While work has been done that examines the potential for PGT to improve students’ interest and understanding of the science involved in genetic testing, there has been...
