I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Search for FMRP in Drosophila

  • How far were you able to get in the Search for FMRP in Drosophila?
  • Do you feel comfortable finding genes and proteins in the NCBI database?
  • Do you have a basic idea what Blast is doing?
  • Do you have an idea why nucleotide blast failed to find the desired gene while the indirect route through protein blast worked?
  • Do have at least a faint inkling why the NCBI database and Blast might be useful in analyzing an unknown phage genome?
  • Any favorite study questions you want to discuss?
     
III. Mapping and Looping

  • How far have you gotten in the notes Introduction to mapping, including (of course) EXPLORING the examples?
  • How far have you gotten in the notes Elements of a loop, including (as always) EXPLORING the examples?
  • Do you have a basic idea what mapping does?
  • Do you have a basic idea what looping does?
  • Do you have an idea why mapping and looping might be useful in analyzing an unknown phage genome?
     
IV. Miscellaneous

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