NapoleonB’s Genes 25 and 28 Corrections and Final Poster (3/4/19)

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Rationale:

Errors found in NapoleonB’s genome were corrected. The poster was completed.

Procedure:

  1. NapoleonB’s gene 25’s coding potential was checked using the GeneMark graph.
  2. NapoleonB’s gene 28’s start choice source was checked using DNA Master.
  3. Both genes were corrected on NapoleonB’s PhageNotes
  4. Completed poster through collaboration of ideas and with the addition information.

Results:

The following images show the updated NapoleonB genes 25 and 28.

The following image shows the final poster.

Conclusion:

NapoleonB’s gene 25’s coding potential error was fixed. NapoleonB’s gene 28’s start choice source error was corrected. However, the corrections for NapoleonB’s gene 25-28 are not complete since Starterator still needs to be checked.

The poster still needs a few images to be updated such as the TEM image of NapoleonB and NapoleonB’s leaf.

Future Work:

The Starterator will be checked for NapoleonB’s genes 25-28. A poster will also be selected to present for scholar’s week.
