(please press SUBMIT button when finished)
(If you encounter a question you've answered in a previous questionnaire and nothing has changed, just skip over it)
Spring 2014 


I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Old Business
  1. Any final concerns about Repeats, Tandem Repeats, and Pattern Matching?
  2. Any final concerns about Finding local repeats?
    (e.g.
    • Do you know how to interpret and use dot plots?
    • Do you know how to interpret and use an autocorrelation function?)
III. Small Dispersed Repeats
  1. How far did you get in the tour Small dispersed repeats: a case study?

     
  2. What understanding do you have about the motivation behind the article?
  3. Why do you think the authors are so focused on mobility of these small sequences?
  4. Were you able to find SDR1 in the Nostoc genome?
  5. Were you able to find the genetic contexts of sequences and understand the output of CONTEXT-OF?
  6. Were you able to go through the process of identifying target sequences for SDR5?
  7. Were you able to do an unbiased search of Nostoc for repeated sequences?
  8. Do you have any favorite study questions (SQ1-SQ22) you think need discussion?
IV. Research Project
Any initial comments or concerns you have regarding your research topic?
Or anything else related to the research project, group meetings, etc?
