The DNA Landscape can be a useful tool for researchers who are studying visual representations of DNA.
Here are some recent research papers that have used the DNA Landscape in their studies.

"Very abstract" representations of DNA can be very confusing!
"Very abstract" representations of DNA can be very confusing!
In the study, "Sketchy understandings: drawings reveal where students may need additional support to understand scale and abstraction in common representations of DNA," researchers categorized student drawings based on the DNA Landscape and found that students often made errors about the meaning of the shapes and symbols in the "very abstract" row of the DNA Landscape.

Exams in introductory biology courses rarely include models of DNA
Exams in introductory biology courses rarely include models of DNA
In the study, "Biology exams rarely use visual models to engage higher-order cognitive skills," researchers found that introductory molecular biology courses rarely included models of DNA. The researchers used the DNA Landscape to categorize the types of models on exams and found that most models of DNA were "very abstract" and tended to assess memorizable facts.

Students tend to draw very abstract chromosomes

In the study, Probing Visual Literacy Skills Reveals Unexpected Student Conceptions of Chromosomes, researchers used the DNA Landscape and found that when students draw chromosomes, they almost always draw the "very abstract" style of chromosomes.
