15 April 2019 ✷ More Independent Research
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
- Justification for why AM phages had such a low GC content when arthrobacter has a typically high GC content was researched on databases.
- An abstract was drafted
- it was decided that the remainder of the research would come from literature and databases including NCBI and PubMed were used to locate more information on GC and arthrobacter.
Results
A research outline was created
Conclusion
TGC is related to bond strength because of the three bonds between C and G. This allows DNA to be more resistant to high temperature. Horizontal gene transfer is responsible for a lot of the variation in GC content of bacteria and the phages that infect them.
