=== Grading for this assignment ===
+
== Annotated Bibliography of Genomics Papers for your Species ==
 
+
* Your individual journal entry for this week is worth a total of 15 points (instead of 10).
+
* Your team journal entry for this week is worth a total of 10 points (instead of 3).  Each member of the team will receive the same grade for the team journal entry.
+
 
+
== Individual Journal Assignment ==
+
 
+
* Store this journal entry as "''username'' Week 10" (i.e., this is the text to place between the square brackets when you link to this page).
+
* Link from your user page to this Assignment page.
+
* Link to your journal entry from your user page.
+
* Link back from your journal entry to your user page.
+
* Don't forget to add the "Journal Entry" category to the end of your wiki page.
+
**'''''Note: you can easily fulfill all of these links by adding them to your template and then using your template on your journal entry.'''''
+
* For your assignment this week, you will keep an '''''electronic laboratory notebook''''' on your individual journal entry page for this week.  An electronic laboratory notebook records all the manipulations you perform on the data and the answers to the questions throughout the protocol. Like a paper lab notebook found in a wet lab, it should contain enough information so that you or someone else could reproduce what you did using only the information from the notebook.
+
 
+
'''Note that each person will complete an individual annotated bibliography.  Information from each team member's bibliography will then be compiled on your team's page.  This will require coordination among the team members so that both the individual and team assignment will be completed by the journal deadline.'''

===Journal Article for Whole Genome Sequencing===
* On your team page (see shared assignment below), you will combine your results with your teammates into one final, ranked bibliography.  Specifically, you need to search the literature/biological databases for the following:
+
*Note: I was not the member of my group who discovered the genome sequencing paper that we ultimately are using for our species, but I did conduct my own searches as described below.  
*# The journal article which describes the results of the whole genome sequencing for your species. ''(Note that you will be giving a journal club presentation on this article for your [[Week 11]] assignment.)''

****Using the advanced search, I searched for articles with all of the words bordetella pertussis genome sequence anywhere in the article, as well as the date range from 2014-2015. This still gave me quite a large number of results which was 2,200. I tried refining my results by using the article published by j biol chem, but this only gave me back 2 results. Google scholar was difficult to use for me because it had such large numbers of articles when I conduced my searches and it was hard to narrow down the article with filters. I would have liked to figure out if there was a way for me to filter the articles from most amount of times cited to least because this would have helped me find the most relevant and popular articles.

Overview

The two main objectives of this week's exercise is to:

  1. Create your team's home page, select your species, and select your Project Manager.
  2. Create an annotated bibliography of papers from which you will derive data for your final research project. This is the second Assignment in the course that specifically addresses the requirements to fulfill the Information Literacy flag for the course.
    • Two members of your team will present one of the primary research articles (genome or microarray paper) as a journal club presentation on Tuesday, November 17; the other two members of your team will present the other primary research article as a journal club presentation on Tuesday, November 24.
    • You will also use these articles to write the Introduction and Discussion sections of your Final Project Report.

Annotated Bibliography of Genomics Papers for your Species

For this assignment, you will be creating an annotated bibliography of genomics papers for your team's species.

Journal Article for Whole Genome Sequencing

  • Note: I was not the member of my group who discovered the genome sequencing paper that we ultimately are using for our species, but I did conduct my own searches as described below.
  • Use a keyword search for each of these databases/tools and answer the following:
    • PubMed
      • What original keyword(s) did you use? How many results did you get?
        • It is important to always go directly to the advanced search when searching on PubMed so that the search can be refined immediately since there are so many available articles through this cite.
        • I started off using the search keywords of bordetella pertussis and limiting the search with the Title/Abstract filter. This came back with 4,778 results which was not ideal.
      • Which terms in which combinations were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get after narrowing the search?
        • To further narrow down my search I used the keywords genome sequence under the Text Word category and proceeded to see my results again. This time I received 17 results, and they were all much more relevant to my desired article.
    • Google Scholar
      • What original keyword(s) did you use? How many results did you get?
        • I started off using the keywords in the search bar as bordetella pertussis genome and received 22,500 results in 0.07 sec. This was way to many and I had to continue to narrow down my search.
      • Which terms in which combinations were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get after narrowing the search?
        • I next added the keyword sequence to the end of my previous search, so the whole search now read bordetella pertussis genome sequence. However, this gave me still 20,500 results which is far too many. I next tried adjusting the date range of the articles and I selected the Since 2015 time frame.

After reading the titles of many of the most relevant articles, a lot of the results are very useful, although it would take some time to try and find a very good one since there are so many to choose from by using this search engine.
    • Web of Science

        • I started off using the search keywords bordetella pertussis and received 5,768 results. This is too many and I need to refine my search to narrow down the results.
      • Which terms in which combinations were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get after narrowing the search?
        • I refined my search keywords by adding genome sequence to the end of my previous search so it read bordetella pertussis genome sequence, and this search generated 139 results. By using the filter for sorting by, I was able to sort the results from the highest number of times cited to the lowest, and this really helped me to find the most relevant and popular articles.
  • Use the advanced search functions for each of these three databases/tools and answer the following:
    • PubMed
      • Which advanced search functions were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get?
        • I went to the advanced PubMed search immediately as directed by Dr. D in class, see answer above for PubMed.
    • Google Scholar
      • Which advanced search functions were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get?
        • Using the advanced search, I searched for articles with all of the words bordetella pertussis genome sequence anywhere in the article, as well as the date range from 2014-2015. This still gave me quite a large number of results which was 2,200. I tried refining my results by using the article published by j biol chem, but this only gave me back 2 results. Google scholar was difficult to use for me because it had such large numbers of articles when I conduced my searches and it was hard to narrow down the article with filters. I would have liked to figure out if there was a way for me to filter the articles from most amount of times cited to least because this would have helped me find the most relevant and popular articles.
    • Web of Science
      • Which advanced search functions were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get?
        • I was very successful with a search I tried from the beginning, and that was to search for the keywords bordetella pertussis genome sequence whole. This gave me back only 21 results, and I was able to filter them from number of citations in order to seek out the most relevant articles.
