加州州立理工大学波莫纳分校（California State Polytechnic University, Pomona）和纽约州立大学科特兰分校（State University of New York College at Cortland）这两所主要本科院校的第二学期生物化学专业的学生，共同完成了一个为期一个学期的合作项目，最终产生了以代谢途径为重点的生物信息图。学生被分成七个代谢途径组，每个学生制作一页的生物信息图，详细描述代谢酶的结构、功能和更广泛的影响。学生们在整个学期中使用一个联合黑板网站进行交流，并在学期结束时与他们的代谢小组会面。在这项任务结束时，这些生物信息图以印刷和在线的方式传播给了更广泛的受众。在作业后的调查中，大多数学生报告说，他们发现这个作业是一个有意义的顶点项目，并指出同行评议过程在编辑他们的生物信息图中的重要性。
Second-semester biochemistry students at two primarily undergraduate institutions, the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and the State University of New York College at Cortland, worked on a collaborative, semester-long project that resulted in the production of bioinfographics focused on metabolic pathways. Students were divided into seven metabolic pathway groups, and each student produced a 1-page bioinfographic where they detailed the structure, function, and broader impacts of a metabolic enzyme. Students used a joint Blackboard site for communication throughout the term and met with their metabolic groups at the end of the semester. At the end of this assignment, these bioinfographics were disseminated to a broader audience both in print and online. In postassignment surveys, most students reported that they found this assignment to be a meaningful capstone project and noted the importance of the peer review process in editing their bioinfographic.
