Rationale: In order to begin practicing annotation on the genome of Elesar, the auto-annotation preferences and template were set-up. Also, some practice was done to better understand the necessity and location of gaps and overlaps in reading frames.

Tools: DNA Master, Microsoft Word

Procedure:

1. Went in to preferences and local preferences to paste the template in for auto-annotation.
2. Using an assigned word file, practiced calculating gap and overlap
3. Ran an auto-annotation on Elesar and viewed the reading frames.
4. Helped other students fix DNA master

Results:

Conclusion:

I was able to view the reading frames of Elesar graphically and the template showed up in the annotation notes.

Future Work:

I will practice annotating some genes of Elesar using the template created today.
