Independent Research Project

Date: 3-22-19

• Rational
  • The rational for this lab is to brainstorm ideas for a research project over the genome of Arthrobacter ATCC 2102.
• Procedure
  1. Groups of two or three were formed to work on individual projects.
  2. Ideas were discussed between group members.
  3. Arthrobacter phage data, including GC%, location found, cluster, and genome size was recorded from PhagesDB for phages that infect Arthrobacter ATCC 21022.
• Results
  • A project idea of comparing relative phylogenetic relatedness between Arthrobacter phages was chosen.

• Future Plans
  • The next step is to continue gathering data from PhagesDB in order to collect a large enough sample size to perform different genome enlightenment and data analysis.
