Epistasis Storyboarded

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Through the artistic planning tool known to comic book artists and animators as storyboarding, students will embark on comic book-style adventures to plan, describe, and visualize the complex life of genes through the non-Mendelian concept of epistasis. Using storyboard templates, conceptual layouts, sketch booking, and cut-out genetic elements, students will construct their interpretation of the gene-gene interactions of epistasis. The incomplete story of the epistasis of human eye color will serve as the theme for this storyboard, which will also become its own assessment tool, inviting educators into a realm of a true STEAM experience.
