This activity will be based on the Daffodil DNA citizen science project using freely available Jalview software. The premise will be introduced followed by a run through of the Jalview schools workbook to help students explore 2 classes of macromolecules - DNA and proteins, including what they are composed of and how they relate to each other. Delegates will need access to a PC/laptop, wifi and a web browser to participate.
