Collecting Data for Independent Group Project (4/3/19)

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Rationale:  

Plan for the rest of the semester was discussed about and data was collected on start codons.  

Tools: 

  • PhagesDB 
  • DNA Master  
  • Excel 

Procedure: 

  1. A plan for the remainder of the semester was talked about, and decisions on goals to reach each day were discussed.  
  2. Research articles on topics were found, and title ideas were discussed about.  
  3. Ideas were formulated on how to strategically obtain all the data.  
  4. FastA file was downloaded from PhagesDB, and start codon was noted on an Excel sheet for AM cluster phages.  

Results: 

Start Codons for Phages were collected, and below is an example of start codons collected for Phage Arcadia

Conclusion: 

Some similar observations were noted of the start codon of AM Cluster Phages that have been collected.  

Future Work: 

Start Codons of other phages including different cluster and different hosts will be collected and used to possibly create a phylogenetic tree.
