Spring 2010 

I. Basic Information

A. Your name 

B. Your telephone (if you want it to appear on the password-protected Who We Are page) 
        (if I get at least 10 responses, I'll put up the telephone numbers)

II. Tour of Hatfull et al (2008)

  • Are you comfortable now with dotplots?
  • Are you comfortable constructing families of proteins such as those shown in Fig. 3 (I mean doing it yourself)?
  • Are you comfortable with the meaning and significance of Fig. 4?
  • Any other questions on your mind about the article or related matters?
     
III. Tour of Mendel (1866)

  • How far were you able to get in the tour (Part I and Part II)?
  • Please realize that we can't spend a lot of time on Mendelian genetics (that was just the gift wrapping --
    the primary concern is statistics and simulations), but is there anything in the description of the problem
    facing Mendel that you'd like to clear up?
  • Do you understand why repeating Mendel's experiment a 1000 times might be helpful in assessing whether
    his actual results are close enough to a 3:1 ratio?
  • How comfortable are you in using DEFINE-FUNCTION to add new functionality to BioBIKE?
  • Do you understand how the simulation you made with the guidance of Part II is useful in assessing whether
    Mendel's actual results are close enough to a 3:1 ratio?
  • Do you see, at least in a fuzzy sense, how the simulation is related to Chi-squared?
  • Any other questions on your mind about the tour?
     
IV. Mapping and Looping

  • Questions or concerns about mapping and looping?
     
V. Miscellaneous

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

Thanks!
