Purpose and Rationale: Begin learning the basics of DNA Master by annotating Phage Elesar.

Procedure:

• Implemented a new code to replace an outdated procedure inside the local settings screen.

• Reloaded Elesar and DNA Master, and initialized auto-annotation.
• Opened frames, and found all open reading frames within the genome.

• Due to complications with computers, this was as far as the class got during lab time. Proceded to clos programs, and followed instructions for QTM.

Results: The genetic makeup of Phage Elesar contains 66 potential genes, of which only 11 are reverse genes. The genome is nearly 43 thousand base pairs long.

Future Steps: The auto-annotated genome of Elesar is ready to be analyzed BLASTed in a separate program based on an online platform, from Genemark. With that, we will be able to potentially find the lineage, and functions of the genes.
