Gene Screen provides information about recessive genetic disease in different cultures and ethnicities, with an emphasis on diseases that are more prevalent in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Gene Screen was produced by the DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor laboratory, and was developed with support from the Victor Center for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases, Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, USA. ## Gene Screen Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple60/v4/0a/76/01/0a760170-e205-b9f0-81af-2e406dd42ccf/mzm.murdviiw.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple3/v4/a1/c2/fc/a1c2fc2a-70c1-0534-c6df-c2893a510dcb/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple3/v4/ae/e4/6e/aee46e4c-f781-6a8f-27bc-6513ca46238f/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple3/v4/86/44/6d/86446dfc-a7b2-18ef-908d-c24af1422769/pr_source.png/640x960.png) ## Gene Screen Rating Breakdown in Vereinigte Staaten - 5 stars: 11 (42%) - 4 stars: 3 (12%) - 3 stars: 1 (4%) - 2 stars: 1 (4%) - 1 stars: 10 (38%) ## Gene Screen Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten ### ***** "Ur mom" Deez nuts lol -- yeetus ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), 2021-09-13 ### *---- "Hi" Hi -- TheoMaster100, 2021-02-17 ### ***** "Very useful information" Useful information -- Stargatelover3, 2018-08-14 ### ****- "Gene screen" Gene Screen, produced by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, is designed to be an introductory-level exploration of how human genetic disorders are inherited. The free app is divided into 3 different sections. In “Learn About Genetics,” the user is able to gain important background knowledge about genes and chromosomes, founder effect, a brief library of human recessive diseases, and some very basic information about the uses of genetic screening, particularly with Jewish genetic diseases. In “Inheritance Calculators,” the user can manipulate variables of a basic Punnett square to learn about genetic probability, deduce trends/patterns of recessive inheritance, and, once again, learn about Jewish disease prevalence compared to the world population. Lastly, “Map of Genetic Diseases” lets users peruse world regions to visualize what recessive diseases are most prevalent in that area. The app is well-organized and uses visual tactics of section headings and app-within-app design to guide the learner through the modules. At the same time, a user is able to choose any topic and is not forced to go through all of the material. This allows a teacher to differentiate how to assign a project involving this app. For example, students struggling with the basic concepts could be guided/required to move through the Section 1 modules whereas more advanced students could jump right into the manipulatives. The app has no sound and no zoom capability, which can be difficult for students that have vision disabilities. I think it’s a great way to let students choose a disease of interest; however, the list is highly focused on recessive disorders that are prevalent in Ashkenazi Jewish populations, which is limiting. I like the additional resources page that links to several well-known databases of information. Truthfully, when I first clicked on the resources page I was expecting to see teacher instructional materials or at least suggestions for classroom use. Many apps these days include guides of some sort so that a teacher is not starting from scratch when planning a lesson. I would say that the target population would be beginning genetics learners, most likely middle school or early high school age. Lastly, I think this is an app that could be used as part of a larger project-based learning unit. It provides some fundamental review to support more inquiry-driven activities in the classroom. -- achiafulio, 2018-07-12 ### ***** "Educational DNA App" An awesome educational app with plenty of resources. -- NetworkDude, 2017-12-27 ### ***** "Genetics" There👇 not the only review 😂 -- JA Boi Phil, 2017-02-28 ### ***** "Happy" I'm the only review so I feel special😂🤥 -- ZachT28!!!, 2017-02-15 ### *---- "Oh god what a crap app" This is the worst app ever -- 😡keeps crashing, 2014-01-23 ### ***** "Jewish focus is due to funding, not racism" If you read the description it says the app was developed through support from a foundation for the prevention of genetic diseases that tend to run in ethnic Jewish populations. It's meant to help, not single out. There are foundations that work on inherited diseases in other populations, but they didn't sponsor the app or the research that went into it. -- Sarah Needs Shoptime, 2014-01-10 ### ***** "Great App" I am a student at cedar grove high school and this was a wonderful app to help explain the basics of genetics -- Jon boy 3333333, 2013-12-12 ### ***** "Stop complaining" Great app. Nothing here is racist. Stop being so sensitive, grow up, and settle down. -- deebler303, 2013-12-11 ### ***** "Great educational app" It's very interesting how this app goes into deatil about genetics and DNA. I also love how it inform you about the different type of diseases that can be find in a certain genetic. I would recommend this app to anyone that has biology or just want to be informed about genetic and DNA -- RSH15, 2013-12-10 ### ****- "Not racist" There is a Jewish genetics section because we Ashkenazi have very homogenous genes, perhaps the most homogenous, making us a field say for geneticists. Great app! -- Sonotahunter, 2013-05-24 ### *---- "Uh, what?" I don't really understand why there is an entire activity devoted to "Jewish genetic diseases". I can understand an activity for genetic diseases in general, but why so specific? It doesn't discuss other specific groups chances with it, so it comes off pretty discriminatory, in a why that makes me very uncomfortable. If that could be dropped, I would rate higher. -- Under_The_Elmm, 2013-04-05 ### ***** "Great!" This is a great app for those who want a quick understanding of how the Punnett square works. Although, I thought it was obvious when I was taking bio but I would always get some answer wrong. The mating is the more helpful part of this app. Usually in test, when it came to genotypes, traits or diseases, knowing probability outcome can be tricky. It def helped me! -- Nurse1623, 2013-02-09 ### *---- "implicit racism" This is a great little app that I would love to use in my classroom. But labeling an activity "Jewish Genetic Diseases" is a reflection of the racial/ethnic bias that got Jim Watson kicked out as the head of Cold Spring Harbor labs several years ago. Why not title the module based on what it is - Founders Effect? What then, is Sickle Cell Disease - "Negro Genetics"? Shameful. -- Bioguy58, 2012-06-10 ### ***** "Great App!" This is a great App for those who quite don't understand genetics or just someone who wants to learn more! I'd like to be a genetics counselor, and this app helped me by having many diseases and information on them. Love it!!! -- Margaret Belt, 2012-05-17 ### ***** "Great app!!! Highly recommend it!!" I am a Molecular Biologist and parent of a 7th grader who is now learning about genetics and DNA in school. This app very helpful in explaining genetics and basic dominant/ recessive inheritance. I like the interactive features and the information about different conditions. It would also be great for adults who don't have a background in Biology and are interested in basic genetics. Well done!! Maybe you could add more genetics (not just dominant/recessive) and conditions. For example, add X-linked traits (like color blindness and ocular albinism) and semi- and co-dominance... Also, maybe you could explain how a condition could be caused by a mutation in more than one gene. -- Nc41rasd, 2012-02-03 ### ****- "Great app" I will be using this as part of my high school biology lesson plans. -- Tjfhyrvn, 2012-01-12 ### ***** "Informative!" Awesome for learning about basic genetics! I love it and learning about all the different genetic diseases there are! I'm going to suggest this app for the iPads at my school, so science class can use it ;) -- Stargurl98, 2011-12-08 [View all Gene Screen reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/de/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Gene Screen Discovered Keywords - gene screen - gen e ## Apps Similar to Gene Screen - [Turning Genes into Medicine](https://apptail.io/de/app/turning-genes-into-medicine-Pvid/united-states) - [Saint Xavier High School](https://apptail.io/de/app/saint-xavier-high-school-PXPe/united-states) - [MoleculeGo](https://apptail.io/de/app/moleculego-SiVe/united-states) - [Brain Tutor 3D](https://apptail.io/de/app/brain-tutor-3d-YwTf/united-states) - [DNA - Pairing Game](https://apptail.io/de/app/dna-pairing-game-HUTi/united-states) - [Molecules](https://apptail.io/de/app/molecules-GCFk/united-states) - [Find My Understudied Genes](https://apptail.io/de/app/find-my-understudied-genes-cFBl/united-states) - [CloudLabs Mendelian Genetics](https://apptail.io/de/app/cloudlabs-mendelian-genetics-SMMp/united-states) - [Union County Public Schools KY](https://apptail.io/de/app/union-county-public-schools-ky-yoIq/united-states) - [Genetic Odyssey](https://apptail.io/de/app/genetic-odyssey-CfTq/united-states) ## Gene Screen Available In - [Vereinigte Staaten](https://apptail.io/de/app/gene-screen-edFe/united-states) - [Philippinen](https://apptail.io/de/app/gene-screen-edFe/philippines) - [Vereinigtes Königreich](https://apptail.io/de/app/gene-screen-edFe/united-kingdom) - [Irland](https://apptail.io/de/app/gene-screen-edFe/ireland) - [Kanada](https://apptail.io/de/app/gene-screen-edFe/canada) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io/de) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
