Laurmagee: Week 10

1. "Nucleotide sequence and predicted functions of the entire Sinorhizobium meliloti pSymA megaplasmid"
   • I used GoogleScholar and entered into the search bar, "Sinorhizobium meliloti".
   • Give an overview of the results of the search.
   • There was a total of 16,800 results.
   • Give an assessment of how relevant the results were.
   • Record the full bibliographic citation of the relevant paper(s), formatted according to the Guidelines for Literature Citations in a Scientific Paper.
   • [[1]]
   • [[2]]
   • Use the genome sequencing article you found to perform a prospective search in the ISI Web of Science/Knowledge database.
   • Give an overview of the results of the search.
   • How many results did you get?
   • Based on the titles and abstracts of the papers, what type of research directions have been taken now that the genome for that organism has been sequenced?
   • What experiment was performed?
   • What was the "treatment" and what was the "control" in the experiment?
   • Were replicate experiments of the "treatment" and "control" conditions conducted?
   • Were these biological or technical replicates?
   • How many of each?
2. "The complete sequence of the 1,683-kb pSymB megaplasmid from the N2-fixing endosymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti"
