Cluster Self-Quiz

Take away: you can cluster anything if you change the threshold value.

Future Direction

Four groups will be assigned one of the following tasks:

1. Blast 2Go
2. Assign GeneOntology terms to our genes
3. Ask: What can DEseq do for us?
4. Investigate DAVID

The structure of this research course is advantageous because our research will have redundancy without competition as three groups work on the same organ.

DAVID Findings:

DAVID is a bioinformatics resource that allows a researcher to extract meaning from large gene or protein lists. The DAVID approach will not work for our research, however, because DAVID only works for humans and would require gene IDs for Python genes which do not exist.

Note: Ashlyn left class early this day to travel for Track & Field competition.
