I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Tour of Gomathi et al (2007)

  • Do you understand how temperate phages differ from virulent phages and how you might identify a temperate phage from an analysis of its genome?
  • Do you understand how to use GeneMark to identify open reading frames (as well as its limitations)?
  • Do you understand how to look for transmembrane regions in proteins and why this might be something of interest?
  • Do you understand how to (in some cases) identify the family of a protein? ...and what a protein family is?
  • Do you understand how you might identify repeated sequences in a phage genome and why that might be of interest?
  • Ideas on how to identify an attachment site of an unknown temperate mycobacteriophage?
     
III. Research Project

  • Do you have an initial idea how to approach your research topic?
  • Do you know how to find research articles that may guide your group in its study of mycobacteriophage genomes?
  • Do you understand how to use Web of Science citation searches to look forward in time from an article of interest?
  • Is communication in your group good enough now so that you can coordinate your efforts?
     
IV. Miscellaneous

  • Other miscellaneous comments, questions, suggestions, concerns?
     

Thanks!
