The role of the Data Analyst will be to apply the data analysis pipeline that you learned by analyzing the Dahlquist Lab microarray dataset to complete the analysis of a different published yeast timecourse microarray dataset. The Data Analysts are the end-users of the project, ultimately determining whether the work of the coder/designer and quality assurance members is useful to them.

Milestones

The milestones do not necessarily correspond to particular weeks; instead they are sets of tasks grouped together.

Milestone 1: Annotated Bibliography

• The Data Analysts will work with their teams to develop an annotated bibliography of papers that reporting yeast timecourse DNA microarray data.

Milestone 2: Journal Club Presentation

• The Data Analysts will work with their teams to create and deliver a Journal Club presentation about a particular paper reporting yeast timecourse DNA microarray data.

Milestone 3: Complete Microarray Data Analysis

• Perform an ANOVA analysis of the data.
• Cluster the data with stem.
• Use YEASTRACT to generate a candidate gene regulatory network.
• Create an input workbook for GRNmap based on a Microsoft Access database that the Coder/Designer and QA's make.
• Run GRNmap and Interpret data.
• As the end-user of the Access database, the Data Analysts will provide feedback to the QAs and Coder/Designer about the usability of database.
