Rationale:

To understand more about phage, the class was divided into several small groups to generate research questions that utilize bioinformatic tools to learn more about questions about NapoleonB and/or related phages.

Materials:

• Laptop
• Canvas Bio-Lab info page
• DNA Master
• NCBI & Phagesdb Database
• Phamerator

Procedure & Results:

1. The abstract was revised with the comments from the last abstract submission.
2. Primary literature that provides insights to the project was found.
3. Presentation powerpoint outline and graphs were compiled.

The hypothesis was supported by the new literature found in the lab. The final abstract version was revised and submitted.

The Next Step:

The next lab would be to try to complete the powerpoint and practice the presentation.
