I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Tour of Mendel (1866) [old business, if you haven't already responded]

  • How far were you able to get in the tour (Part I and Part II)?
  • Do you understand why repeating Mendel's experiment a 1000 times might be helpful in assessing whether
    his actual results are close enough to a 3:1 ratio?
  • How comfortable are you in using DEFINE-FUNCTION to add new functionality to BioBIKE?
  • Do you understand how the simulation you made with the guidance of Part II is useful in assessing whether
    Mendel's actual results are close enough to a 3:1 ratio?
  • Using the simulation as a guide, do you see the circumstances under which a Chi-squared might be appropriate?
  • Any other questions on your mind about the tour?
     
III. Tour of Rohwer and Edwards (2002)

  • Do you nderstand the utility of constructing phylogenetic trees?
  • Are you convinced that there is no single protein found in all phage sequences? If not, would could you do to convince yourself?
  • Do you understand how comparison of protein sequences via BlastP was used to measure the relatedness of phage genomes?
  • Were you able to determine the relatedness of phage in the M13 family with your own hands?
  • Any other questions on your mind about the article or related matters?
     
IV. Miscellaneous

Put here any miscellaneous comments, questions, suggestions, concerns you may have.
     

Thanks!
