  • Keep an "electronic lab notebook", containing your methods, results, and interpretations of this week's portion of the Sample Microarray Analysis for Vibrio cholerae page in your "username Week 8" journal page. Although you will have assigned partner(s), you will need to fill out your own individual journal page.
    • Be sure to answer any questions embedded in the protocol in your journal page.
  • Upload your completed spreadsheet (both the .xls and .txt versions) to this wiki and link to them on your individual journal page.
