Biology 382: Techniques in Molecular Biology
Your title…………….
Your names, Department of Biology
Faculty mentor: Dr. Curtis Loer
Results & Discussion (continued)
Abstract
Materials & Methods (continued?)
This is a sample of 28 point text.
M&M could be fairly long - that’s OK. But keep it as accessible as
possible.
The abstract can potentially be in smaller text, and is not absolutely
essential to put here at the beginning. But it is often done on
posters.
Introduction (36 pt, bold, for headings)
This is a sample of 28 point text. Good for the body of text. Pterins
are really cool and important to study for lots of reasons, and use
this citation format (Thöny et al., 2000)
This is a sample of 28 point text.
Cloning Results
(Picture of Gel? Showing predicted band size?)
Don’t underestimate how long it can take to
make a well-written, well-organized and nicelooking poster! It can take many hours.
And, once it’s printed, you’ll have to stare at that
typo or other error forever…
2A
2B
To read the smaller text more easily while
building the poster, use the Zoom… selection
under the View menu.
Sequencing of Constructs…
Blastn alignments?
Figure source/credit
Figure source/credit,
Figure 1 - Figure title
Figure legend - This is a sample of 24 point text.
if you didn’t make it ourself. If you
modified a figure from another source:
“After Figure by Thony et al…”
To make a new text box of the same size and font(s), select one
and ‘duplicate’ (edit menu)
Potential topics for intro: Big picture: why are you doing what you’re
doing? Pterins and pterin synthesis, RNA interference as a
technique for assessing gene function (especially in C. elegans).
Figure source/credit
Figure 2 A & B - Figure title - Lots of Figs is nice - More figs,
less text is good.
Figure legends - (A) This is a sample of 24 point text. (B) This is the second
figure legend.
Possible M&M topics (subheadings?):
Primer Design
PCR
Cloning
Sequencing
Results & Discussion
This is a sample of 28 point text.
A really good idea: Make a copy of the template unchanged - and work with a different copy
saved with a new name. If you accidentally
destroy some formatting and can’t figure out
how to get it back, you can refer to the original.
Figure source/credit
Bioinformatics analysis of dhs- and xxx genes (this is 32
pt bold, a good subheading size)
Figure 3 - Figure title
Figure legends - (A) This is a sample of 24 point text. (B) This is the second
figure legend.
(can go under results - this is work you’e done. You can also create
nice figures from Wormbase.)
Materials & Methods
This is a sample of 28 point text.
Just for keeping things lined up:
Remove dividing lines when poster is complete
You can add more lines if needed during
construction to line things up nicely

Future work
Feed dsRNA-producing bacteria to worms and examine the phenotype
caused by knock-down of the gene-of-interest. Etc….
References (24 pt bold)
18 pt - can be as small as needed to fit everything in here. You should have several references here, all cited
somewhere in the poster. If you cite it, you should at the very least have read the abstract!
