Alina's Assessment and Reflection

Statement of Work

• Describe exactly what you did on the project.

Updating of Gene Database Testing Reports

• Was responsible for running counts (XMLPipeDB Match, Tally Engine, SQL)
• Performed visual inspections within gdb files
  • Systems table
  • UniProt table
  • RefSeq table
  • OriginalRowCounts
• Provided screenshots when necessary
• (Did not update GenMAPP aspects, left to Kevin)
• Compared found Gene ID formats with corresponding online resources (UniProt, RefSeq)
• Export Reports contributed to:
  • [1] [2] [3]

XML/Exception File Comparison

• Used XMLPipeDB Match in order to search Uniprot XML file for species IDs with format SP_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] and got 2126 results.
• This was saved as a text file in order to make compatible for Excel. This file and exceptions file were put in adjacent columns and Excel match function was used. All results found to be #N/A.
• Excel File: ID Comparison

• Provide references or links to artifacts of your work, such as:
  • Wiki pages
  • Other files or documents
  • Code or scripts

Assessment of Project

• Give an objective assessment of the success of your project workflow and teamwork.
• What worked and what didn't work?
• What would you do differently if you could do it all over again?
• Evaluate the Gene Database Project and Group Report in the following areas:
  1. Content: What is the quality of the work?
  2. Organization: Comment on the organization of the project and of your group's wiki pages.
  3. Completeness: Did your team achieve all of the project objectives? Why or why not?

Reflection on the Process

• What did you learn?
  • With your head (biological or computer science principles)
  • With your heart (personal qualities and teamwork qualities that make things work or not work)?
  • With your hands (technical skills)?
• What lesson will you take away from this project that you will still use a year from now?
