Rationale

Today we will continue working on our independent research projects. We aim to gather more data on NapoleonB and other AM cluster phages.

Procedure

  • The annotations created by the class were uploaded onto DNA Master.
  • The %GC and %GC3 were calculated for each gene in Napoleon and the results were recorded into an excel sheet.
  • The genes and their %GC and %GC3 values were sorted into two categories of whether the gene was AM specific or non-AM specific.
  • The average %GC and %GC3 values were calculated for each group created.
  • The process was repeated for a non-AM cluster phage.
  • Average %GC was also collected for each specific type of Arthrobacter phage.

Results

Shown below are the recorded average %GC for each cluster of Arthrobacter phage.

Conclusion/Next Steps

Next, we will perform a t-test with our results and move onto data collection for other Arthrobacter phages.
