Ensuring the accuracy of gene models is crucial for designing precise experiments like CRISPR targeting. Traditionally, this validation process involves manual curation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive as experts evaluate computational predictions against experimental evidence. However, tapping into undergraduate science majors as gene curators presents a promising solution, particularly when integrated into coursework activities.
