Developed in collaboration with the Royal Society, this material provides a short interactive introduction to bioinformatics, and includes a bioinformatics ‘game’ that simulates database searching and protein sequence analysis, with a focus on sickle cell anaemia. This is a fun activity with which to introduce bioinformatics to school students.
