# Make a list of at least 10 biological terms for which you did not know the definitions when you first read the article. Define each of the terms. You can use the glossary in any molecular biology, cell biology, or genetics text book as a source for definitions, or you can use one of many available online biological dictionaries. Cite your sources for the definitions by providing the proper citation (for a book) or the URL to the page with the definition for online sources. Each definition must have it's own URL citation.

Your outline can be in any form you choose, but you should utilize the wiki syntax of headers and either numbered or bulleted lists to create it. The text of the outline does not have to be complete sentences, but it should answer the questions listed below and have enough information so that others can follow it.

What were the methods used in the study? Briefly state the result shown in each of the figures and tables. How do the results of this study compare to the results of previous studies (See Discussion).

  1. Make a list of at least 10 biological terms for which you did not know the definitions when you first read the article. Define each of the terms.
  2. Write an outline of the article.
  3. What types of data can be found in the database (sequence, structures, annotations, etc.); is it a primary or “meta” database; is it curated electronically, manually [in-house], or manually [community])?
  4. What individual or organization maintains the database?
  5. What is their funding source(s)?
  6. Is there a license agreement or any restrictions on access to the database?
  7. How often is the database updated?
  8. Are there links to other databases?
  9. Can the information be downloaded? In what file formats?
  10. Evaluate the “user-friendliness” of the database. Is the Web site well-organized? Does it have a help section or tutorial? Run a sample query. Do the results make sense?
  11. What is the format (regular expression) of the main type of gene ID for this species? (for example, for Vibrio cholerae it was VC#### or VC_####).
