Week 2 Feedback

  • Thank you for turning in your assignment on time.
  • You wrote something in the summary field for 12 of 12 saves (100%) in the period of review--keep up the excellent work!
  • However, the number of total saves on your individual wiki page is quite small (only 2). We are encouraging you to save your work in smaller "chunks"; a range of 10-20 saves is what would have been expected for this assignment.
  • Your complementary DNA sequence was correct.
  • Your translations were correct, except that you mixed up the labels for frames +2 and +3 and again for frames -2 and -3. Also, it would have been good to keep translating beyond the stop codon in this case, since it was purely a translation exercise.
  • Your determination of which frames contained ORFs was correct.
  • One other note: we do not label the ends of proteins 5' and 3', instead we label them N-ter and C-ter.
  • I saw your separate electronic lab notebook page, but there were no notes for this assignment. For this assignment, the lab notebook would have explained how you arrived at your answers to the questions posed in the exercise. Please be sure to keep your electronic lab notebook for future assignments. Also, as discussed in class, please keep your notes on the same page as the assignment.
  • One small note about your References section: a mistake in syntax for the link means that it is not showing up properly on the page. Be sure to proofread your work after you save to ensure you didn't make any syntax errors.
  • Thank you for your honest about "skimming" the Nirenberg article. The technical language in articles from the primary literature is definitely a hurdle for students (and even for faculty from a different field), but keep with it. Like with other fields of endeavor, it is good to take a look at the primary source.
