Rationale:

Our goal was to work on figures for the results and to acquire further background information.

Procedures:

1. I looked at the MSA data and created a figure to show the alignment of the amino acids from other organisms and phages that matched with NapoleonB.
2. I looked at background information for NMT and NMN in order to begin working on the background part of our project.

Data:

This is the graphic that was created to show the alignment between amino acids.

Conclusions/Next Steps:

From the graphic I created, it can be seen that there are certain amino acids and amino acid sequences that are conserved throughout most of the genomes analyzed. The background information also served to provide a greater understanding of what NMT is actually for. The next step will be to continue working on the aspects required for the presentation and the abstract.
