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.

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.

  • On your individual journal entry pages, you will keep an electronic lab notebook that details how you conducted your search, along with the results of your search.
  • 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:
    1. 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.)
      • 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?
          • Which terms in which combinations were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get after narrowing the search?
        • Google Scholar
          • What original keyword(s) did you use? How many results did you get?
          • Which terms in which combinations were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get after narrowing the search?
        • Web of Science
          • What original keyword(s) did you use? How many results did you get?
          • Which terms in which combinations were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get after narrowing the search?
      • 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?
        • Google Scholar
          • Which advanced search functions were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get?
        • Web of Science
          • Which advanced search functions were most useful to narrow down the search? How many results did you get?
      • Each of the references in your bibliography needs to have the following information (an example is given in another section below):
        • The complete bibliographic reference in the APA style (see the Writing LibGuide) You will be using one of three formats, “journal article from database (with DOI), journal article from database (no DOI) or journal article in print (no DOI).)
        • The link to the abstract from PubMed.
        • The link to the full text of the article in PubMedCentral.
        • The link to the full text of the article (HTML format) from the publisher web site.
        • The link to the full PDF version of the article from the publisher web site.
        • Who owns the rights to the article?
          • Does the journal own the copyright?
          • Do the authors own the copyright?
          • Do the authors own the rights under a Creative Commons license?
          • Is the article available “Open Access”?
        • What organization is the publisher of the article? What type of organization is it? (commercial, for-profit publisher, scientific society, respected open access organization like Public Library of Science or BioMedCentral, or predatory open access organization, see the list of) (Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association Members) here.
        • Is this article available in print or online only?
        • Has LMU paid a subscription or other fee for your access to this article?
    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 articles does this article cite?
        • How many 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?
    3. Each person needs to find 1-2 potential journal articles that refer to public/published microarray data for your species than are different than what your teammates have found. Thus, each team should find 4-8 articles. If you cannot find a minimum of four articles, please let the instructors know right away.
      • The experiments must be measuring gene expression aka transcriptional profiling or transcription profiling by array. Microarrays can also be used for other types of experiments, but these won't be suitable for analysis.
        • A minimum of three biological replicates need to have been performed for each condition measured (so that we can do statistical analysis of the data).
        • The experiment performed is a competitive hybridization (also known as a "two-color" or "two-channel") experiment where one sample was labeled with the Cy3 dye and the other sample was labeled with the Cy5 dye (i.e., not an "Affymetrix" chip).
        • The control sample needs to be derived from mRNA and not genomic DNA.
        • The gene IDs used on in the data files must match the gene IDs that are cross-referenced by UniProt (Dr. Dahlquist can help with this one).
      • We recommend that you begin by searching for the data, and then by finding the journal article related to the data. State which database you used to find the data and article.
      • State what you used as search terms and what type of search terms they were.
      • Give an overview of the results of the search.
        • How many results did you get?
        • Give an assessment of how relevant the results were.
      • For each article, please provide all of the same information that you provided for the genome article above.
      • In addition, you must also link to the web site where the microarray data resides.
        • For each of the microarray articles/datasets, answer the following:
          1. What experiment was performed? What was the "treatment" and what was the "control" in the experiment?
          2. Were replicate experiments of the "treatment" and "control" conditions conducted? Were these biological or technical replicates? How many of each?
        • Remember, microarray data is not centrally located on the web. Some major sources are:
      • On your team wiki page, compile the list of citations, links, and answers to questions, ranking the papers one through eight in order of preference for using the dataset for your project. The instructors will review your results to make sure that the data are suitable for the project before you move forward with the analysis.

Sample Bibliographic Entry

For example, see the bibliographic entry for Schade et al. (2004) below which is available both in print and online:

Schade, B., Jansen, G., Whiteway, M., Entian, K.D., & Thomas, D.Y. (2004). Cold Adaptation in Budding Yeast. Molecular Biology of the Cell, 15, 5492-5502. doi: 10.1091/mbc.E04-03-0167
