10 April 2019 ✷ Independent Research (again)
Rationale: The trends in the percent GC of the genes were analyzed via statistical methods and further research plans were decided upon to answer the research question
Procedure
- The genes were sorted by whether or not they were specific to AM and then averages and statistical analysis was performed by Lucy.
- In the search for a phage that was most similar to NapoleonB but from another cluster, group members noticed that the Pham numbers had changed and that more phages had been added, thus the data from the previous lab regarding the stats on the AM vs non-AM genes needed to be redone.
- Phams were checked against PhagesDB and the results were updated.
Results
Pictured is the data recorded today.
Conclusion
The P score for the average %GC of AM-specific genes vs non-AM-specific genes is low enough to indicate a significant difference between the two.
