Group Activity: Virtual group annotation of gene sequence using Miro
1. Prepare the Gene Sequence
-
Select a Sequence: Choose a gene sequence relevant to your lesson.
-
Format the Sequence: Ensure the sequence is in a readable format, such as FASTA, and divide it into manageable segments for annotation.
2. Set Up the Miro Board
-
Create a New Board: Go to Miro from the provided link.
-
Upload the Sequence: Insert the gene sequence as an image or text box on the Miro board.
-
Add Annotation Tools: Utilize Miro's sticky notes, shapes, and text boxes to highlight and annotate specific regions of the gene sequence.
3. Assign Annotations
-
Distribute Tasks: Assign different segments of the gene sequence to small groups or individual students.
-
Provide Guidelines: Instruct students to identify key features such as promoters, exons, introns, and regulatory regions.
-
Encourage Collaboration: Students can use sticky notes to add comments, questions, or observations about their assigned segments.
4. Facilitate Discussion
-
Review Annotations: After the annotation session, review the Miro board with the class, discussing the identified features and their significance.
