Project Manager: TBA
Quality Assurance:  Iliana Crespin
Data Analysis: Emma Young, Kaitlyn Nguyen
Coder: Michael Armas

Purpose

The purpose of the Week 11 assignment is to begin the final project by creating an individual journal with an outline of the journal article assigned (to be studied and analyzed), identify and define 10 new terms, create an annotated bibliography, and lastly, a presentation.

Outline of your journal article

Journal Article:

1. What is the main result presented in this paper?
2. What is the importance or significance of this work?
3. What were the limitations in previous studies that led them to perform this work?
4. How did they treat the yeast cells (what experiment were they doing?)
5. What strain(s) of yeast did they use? Were the strain(s) haploid or diploid?
6. What media did they grow them in? What temperature? What type of incubator? For how long?
7. What controls did they use?
8. How many replicates did they perform per treatment or timepoint?
9. What method did they use to prepare the RNA, label it and hybridize it to the microarray?
10. What mathematical/statistical method did they use to analyze the data?
11. Are the data publicly available for download? From which web site?
12. Briefly state the result shown in each of the figures and tables, not just the ones you are presenting.
    • What do the X and Y axes represent?
    • How were the measurements made?
    • What trends are shown by the plots and what conclusions can you draw from the data?
13. How does this work compare with previous studies?
14. What are the important implications of this work?
15. What future directions should the authors take?
16. Give a critical evaluation of how well you think the authors supported their conclusions with the data they showed. Are there any major flaws to the paper?
