The Coder/Designer is responsible for creating the Microsoft Access database that will be used by the Data Analyst to prepare an input workbook for GRNmap for the microarray dataset they are analyzing. The Coder/Designer is also the resident expert on the technology being used—assorted software, file management, version control, and troubleshooting. He or she coordinates with Dr. Dahlquist and fellow Coders/Designers in developing the Access database and storing it in the GitHub code repository.

Guild Members

Milestones

The milestones do not necessarily correspond to particular weeks; instead they are sets of tasks grouped together. However, Milestone 3 is a hard prerequisite for proceeding to Milestone 4, so ideally the Coder/Coder guild should finish these milestones (they require some coordination; see below) as soon as possible.

Milestone 1: Annotated Bibliography

  • The Coder/Designer will work with their teams to develop an annotated bibliography of papers relating to their team's assigned paper.

Milestone 2: Journal Club Presentation

  • The Coder/Designer will work with their teams to create and deliver a Journal Club presentation about to their team's assigned paper.

Milestone 3: Working Environment Setup

Coder/Designer work will require the following software/accounts. The Seaver 120 lab computers are already set up for this; this list is provided for Coders/Designers who need to work on a different computer or outside of the lab.

  • Microsoft Access
  • Box account (provided by LMU)
    • Databases created by the teams will be kept in a "BIOL367_Fall2019 > Final Project Database" Box folder.
    • Coder/Designer guild members have rights as editor to this folder; all others in the class can only view/download.
    • This folder will serve as as the version control mechanism for the Coder/Designer guild.

Milestone 4: Creating a MS Access Database to Store Time-course Microarray Data

  • Designer/Coders will work with the QA's to create a MS Access Database to store the yeast time-course microarray data for the dataset being analyzed by the Data Analysts.
  • The QA will peform quality assurance to make sure that the database is correct and accurate.
  • As a guild, the Coder/Designers will merge their separate databases into a final product.
