I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Old Business: Encounter with CTC

Comments on
CTC encounter
III. Old Business: Edwards & Rohwer (2005) - first part of article
This sections contains the same questions as on Monday's questionnaire.
You can skip them, unless your answers have changed or you haven't previously provided any insights.

A. How comfortable are you with the difference between metagenome sequencing and conventional sequencing (e.g. sequencing of the Drosophila genome)? 

B. How comfortable are you with the need for metagenome sequencing ? 

C. How comfortable are you with extracting information from Figure 1 of the article? 

D. How comfortable are you with interpretting Figure 2 of the article? 

E. How comfortable are you with the notion of a prophage? 

F. Choose study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ1  SQ2  SQ3  SQ4  SQ5  SQ6  SQ7  SQ8  SQ9  SQ10  SQ11  SQ12  SQ13

IV. New Business: Edwards & Rohwer (2005) - second part of article

A. How comfortable are you with the approach described in the notes to estimate the complexity of an environmental sample? 

B. How comfortable are you with the different flavors of Blast? 

C. How comfortable are you with the idea of characterizing genes by their codon usage? 

D. How comfortable are you with the idea of characterizing genes or DNA sequences by their GC content? 

E. Choose study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ14  SQ15  SQ16  SQ17  SQ18 
Comments on
second part
of Edwards & Rohwer
V. Problem Set 4
A. What problems or concepts would you like discussed?
PS4 issues
VI. Meta-questions
A. There is a great deal of heterogeneity in the comfort level of people in the class regarding the concept of loops, as one would expect from the heterogeneity in computational backgrounds. If there were a review session on loop-related matters on Wednesday, February 27, 10AM, would you come? 

B. Put here any miscellaneous comments, questions, suggestions, concerns you may have.
    Anything else you'd like discussed?
