I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Tour of Karlin (2001)

  • How far did you get?
  • Do you understand why it might be valuable to identify regions of DNA that have characteristics different from the rest of the DNA?
  • Do you understand in principle how the methods shown in Box 1 of the article might be used to identify such regions?
  • Do you understand how to read Fig. 1? What is the meaning of the X-axis? ...the Y-axis?
  • Do you understand the meaning of GC-FRACTION and how to calculate it, both using the GC-FRACTION-OF function and using more basic functions?
  • Were you able to generate a graph of GC-fraction vs position in the DNA? Do you understand what it means?
  • Do you understand the trade-off in using bigger or smaller fragment sizes to look for anomolous GC-content?
     
III. Miscellaneous

Any particular problems on the problem sets or tours you'd like to go over in lab?

Would you like to come to a review session this coming Wednesday? If so, What would be a good time?

Put here also any other miscellaneous comments, questions, suggestions, concerns you may have.
