(please press SUBMIT button when finished)
(and please don't use quotation marks in your answers. They break the questionnaire program!)


This is a replay of Monday's questionnaire.
No need for you to repeat what you reported earlier, but all news is welcome

II. Tour of Hatfull et al (2008)

  • How far were you able to get in the tour (Part I and Part II)?
  • Do you appreciate the difference between a review article and a research article?
  • Are you comfortable with notions of orf and GC fraction? If not, what's the problem?
  • Are you comfortable with dotplots, such as the one shown in Fig. 2? If not, what's the problem?
  • Are you comfortable constructing families of proteins such as those shown in Fig. 3 (I mean doing it yourself)? If not, what's the problem?
  • Are you comfortable with the meaning and significance of Fig. 4? If not, what's the problem?
  • Any other specific issues on your mind about the article or related matters?
  • Favorite study questions? What's the problem with them?
     
III. Mapping and Looping

  • How far have you gotten in the notes Introduction to mapping, including (of course) EXPLORING the examples?
  • How far have you gotten in the notes Elements of a loop, including (as always) EXPLORING the examples?
  • Do you have a basic idea what mapping does? If not, what's the problem?
  • Do you have a basic idea what looping does? If not, what's the problem?
  • Do you have an idea why mapping and looping might be useful in analyzing an unknown phage genome? If not, what's the problem?
  • Anything specific that's not going as expected?
     
IV. Miscellaneous
