Collecting Start Codons for Research Project (4/10/19)
Rationale:
Start codons for the phages 0f the AQ cluster were collected.
Tools:
- PhagesDB
- DNA Master
- Excel
Procedure:
- FastA file was downloaded from PhagesDB
- File was opened in DNA Master.
- Start Sequences of phages were noted on Excel.
- Genomes of AR Cluster phages were copied onto a word document to help in creating a phylogenetic tree.
Results:
More start codons for AQ Cluster phages were collected:
Conclusion:
There were similarities of start codon preferences found in the start and end of the phage AQ and all that were recorded had 82 genes. There could be some kind of trend that is present between all phages in a cluster, and maybe in between clusters.
Future Work:
More start codon sequences will be collected and be used to create a phylogenetic tree.
