My advice on the matters for the day (as listed in the calendar):
- Crick (1961) et al: Make use of whatever resources you need to understand how this complicated experiment works, including the article, the companion, the simulation (or its graphical alternative), and/or Problem 3 of Problem Set 5. Do whatever works for you, but do something.
- Research Proposal: I'll take you through the ways to get at old proposals and old summaries. We'll discuss old proposals -- what's good about them and what's not -- in the near future.
I. Basic Information
A. Your name
II. Old business
- Summary of an experiment described in a research article
Clear on the
why,
what, and
how, of writing a summary?
How to submit it through the
BNFO300 summary blog?
Crick et al (1961) and the triplet code
Regarding the companion to Crick (1961), any concerns about mutagenesis by acridines? The nature of frame shift mutations? How thee T4 RII system works to enable the identification of mutant phages?
Your research proposal?
Progress? Problems?
III. Crick et al (1961)
A. How far have you gotten in Crick et al (1961) and its companion?
The simulation?
The alternative graphical simulation?
B. Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics regarding Crick et al (1961) and its simulation:
- Recombination between two phages and how it can be used to map mutations
- The nature of suppressor mutations as relevant to Crick et al (1961)
- How to construct new mutant T4 phages
- What the double and triple mutants say about the genetic code
- Any problems doing the simulation?
C. Choose up to five study questions that you would most like discussed in class and explain why.
IV. Miscellaneous
Any other comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have?
Thanks!
