	#Organization: Our group was generally well organized, but our wiki pages were messy as we all were uploading and posting haphazardly. We generally fixed these issues of disorganization in retrospect, and some pages are still quite messy.		#Organization: Our group was generally well organized, but our wiki pages were messy as we all were uploading and posting haphazardly.

		+	==Reflection on the Process==
		+	*I learned how to transform data, to use programs that allow one to easily organize and understand an enormous volume of otherwise incomprehensible data. I also learned how to integrate computer information and programs with my biologist's understanding of processes and workings of life. I had the opportunity to improve upon my teamwork skills that allowed this project to be successful relatively smoothly.
		+	*I will take away the importance and power of interdisciplinary approaches to research, as well as the importance of effective teamwork and planning.

 *I would work earlier on and focus more on getting the data ready for GenMAPP so that results rather than methods could receive more of my time.
 *Gene Database Project and Group Report Assessment
+#Content: the work is of high quality, but relatively limited in scope.  Only one pathway at one time point was analyzed.  It would have been much more interesting to see that pathway at multiple time points, or to see different pathways in conjunction with the sugar transmembrane transporter activity pathway that was examined.

	This data was imported into GenMAPP to create a gene database for S. pneumoniae, and color sets were created according to the instructions for V. cholerae [http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/BIOL367/F10:GenMAPP_and_MAPPFinder_Protocols V. cholerae 2]. MAPPFinder was run, and a filtered ranked list was produced [[Media:20131210_tATK_filteredresults.xls\|20131210_tATK_filteredresults.xls]]. The sugar transmembrane transporter activity pathway was selected for further investigation, and a mapp of the genes in that pathway was produced using MAPPFinder [[Media:20131211_tATK_sugar_transmembrane_transporter_activity.mapp\|20131211_tATK_sugar_transmembrane_transporter_activity.mapp]]		This data was imported into GenMAPP to create a gene database for S. pneumoniae, and color sets were created according to the instructions for V. cholerae [http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/BIOL367/F10:GenMAPP_and_MAPPFinder_Protocols V. cholerae 2].

		+	==Assessment of Project==
		+
		+	*The project workflow went well overall. There was some confusion concerning my role and how to change the V. cholerae instructions for the data set from this experiment, but once imported into GenMAPP everything ran smoothly. The work Tauras and Alina produced was excellent, and we worked together very well and efficiently to produce our final products.
		+	*We worked well as a team, group meetings were productive, and most things went smoothly. I had some troubles interpreting the data before the column headers were acquired, and difficulty understanding how to apply the statistics tests and data transformations, but those issues were worked out with help from Dr. Dahlquist and Dr. Dionisio.
		+	*I would work earlier on and focus more on getting the data ready for GenMAPP so that results rather than methods could receive more of my time.
