Goals
Over the upcoming weeks our group will be investigating Shigella flexneri.
Week 10
- Find genome sequence paper
- Find 4-8 microarray data and paper that goes with the genome paper
- Compile team page to and create a ranked annotated bibliography
Week 11
- Prepare for journal club presentations in Weeks 12 and 13
- Begin initial tasks on research project

Kristin: Using the team's selected microarray paper I developed an outline including background information, experimental outline/methods and how samples corresponded to the data, a brief description of the results, and a discussion including the implications of the research and its results in comparison to previous studies. Using this outline, I created a flow chart corresponding to the research. I also worked with Erich in order to create a PowerPoint for the Journal Club presentation on Nov. 24.
Overview of Genome Paper
- Used the genome sequencing article to perform a prospective search in the Web of Science database.
- Overview of the search:
- How many articles does this article cite? 37
- How many articles cite this article? 303
- 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?
- Now that the genome has been sequenced, a majority of research has been done on discovering which genes are responsible for virulence and pathogenesis as well as potential antibiotics. Genomic research is also focused on how S. flexneri has been able to develop resistance to multiple drugs. Furthermore, Shigella is suspected to have evolved from Escherichia coli so a lot of research has been done in how and when pathogenic Shigella split from E. coli on the evolutionary tree.

- Does the journal own the copyright? NO
- Do the authors own the copyright? Yes
- Do the authors own the rights under a Creative Commons license? Yes
- Is the article available “Open Access”? Yes
- What organization is the publisher of the article? What type of organization is it? PLoS One is the publisher/Journal. It hosts open access research articles. (Public Library of Science)
- Is this article available in print or online only? Online only
- Has LMU paid a subscription or other fee for your access to this article? No LMU has not paid a subscription or other fee because it is open access on the Public Library of Science.
- Use the genome sequencing article you found to perform a prospective search in the ISI Web of Science/Knowledge database.
- How many articles does this article cite? 25 cited references
- How many articles cite this article? 0 articles cite this article
- 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?
- Well given that there are no papers that cite this paper there hasn't been anything done to build on this specific topic. In regards to the genome I think this paper has built on the work of the people who sequenced the first genome of Shigella flexneri as well as the other micro array papers.
- State which database you used to find the data and article: ArrayExpress
- State what you used as search terms and what type of search terms they were: "shigella flexneri" filtered by organism, experiment type: "rna assay", experiment type: "array assay"
- Give an overview of the results of the search.
- How many results did you get? 7 results returned with 6 viable options due to the number assays.
- Give an assessment of how relevant the results were: Very relevant, 6/7 results were viable.
- Link to microarray data
- What experiment was performed? What was the "treatment" and what was the "control" in the experiment?
- Antibiotics (RNA Polymerase Inhibitors) were added to Shigella flexneri in order to see if bacteria became less active. The control was a group of bacteria with no drugs added to them, and the treatment was a group of bacteria with drugs added to them.
- Were replicate experiments of the "treatment" and "control" conditions conducted? Were these biological or technical replicates? How many of each?
- There are two drugs RX and RP with 6 samples per drug. The experiment was run 3 times which yielded 36 assays. I believe that means 3 biological replicates and 12 technical replicates within each experiment, but I am not 100 percent sure.
