Marcus Avila's Final Reflection

Individual Assessment and Reflection

Statement of Work

Describe exactly what you did on the project.
- For the project I worked with Ivy to decide how to organize the Thorsen data to run an ANOVA. After doing the ANOVA and running STEM, I then downloaded the Gene Lists for Profiles 40 & 48 and combined them to input into "Rank by TF" on YEASTRACT. Next, I selected the 15 most significant transcription factors to include on the network. After inputting the 15 transcription factors into the Generate Regulation Matrix I downloaded and transposed the Profile 40 and 48 network excel sheet. I then used GRNsight to create the weighted and unweighted network maps.
- I then created the production rate sheet, degradation rate sheet, expression data sheet, network sheet, network weights sheet, optimization parameters, and the threshold b sheet using the sample workbook provided. Finally, I input the GRNmap input workbook from the GRNmap Input Worksheet Profiles 40 and 48 into MATLAB for analysis.

Assessment of Project

Give an objective assessment of the success of your project workflow and teamwork.
- The team did a good job making sure things were done in a timely manner and we also had very few problems meeting up outside of class time to work on the project which made the workflow much more efficient.
What worked and what didn't work?
- Communication via text messages and scheduling meet up times worked very well. It seemed like the work load distribution was not completely equal, but this is not something we could change as a group.
What would you do differently if you could do it all over again?
- I would ensure that each job had defined tasks or were assigned to help other members in their tasks.
Evaluate your team’s portion of the Final Project and Group Report in the following areas:
- Content: What is the quality of the work?
  - The quality of the work was good, but might have some issues because some steps were unclear and did not always parallel the steps done in the example data analysis assignment.
- Organization: Comment on the organization of the project and of your group's wiki pages.
  - Our wiki page was very organized because each section included a header and files were broken up into categories/steps.
- Completeness: Did your team achieve all of the project objectives? Why or why not?
  - Yes, the Microsoft Access database was successfully made after analyzing the publish microarray data.

Reflection on the Process

What did you learn?

With your head (biological or computer science principles)
- I learned about how microarray experiments can be used to study gene expression changes in response to stress.
With your heart (personal qualities and teamwork qualities that make things work or not work)?
- I learned that meeting up is much more effective than working individually or texting when analyzing and interpreting data, as well as when working on editing presentations.
With your hands (technical skills)?
- I learned how to input microarray data into MS Access, how to use GRNsight, YEASTRACT, and MATLAB.

What lesson will you take away from this project that you will still use a year from now?

I will take away the lesson that my attitude plays a major role in whether each person is equally invested in a group assignment or not.

DeLisa Madere's Final Reflection

Statement of Work

Role as Designer
- My role in this project was a Designer. As a designer, I collaborated with the other coders to come up with a metadata sheet incorporating information regarding the citations of the paper as well as the sample-to-data sheet including the different treatments, yeast strains, timepoints, concentrations, and replicates. After creating the metadata sheet, I worked with the QAs to create the database compiling the datasets from our microarray data for the Data Analysts to analyze further. Once all the data was analyzed, I then worked with the QAs and the other coders to create a database compiling our data, the degradation rates, production rates, metadata table, as well as the other datasets from the other groups (FunGals, Skinny Genes, Dahlquist Lab) to visualize the relationships in a database schema. Each dataset was standardized under common headers such as author_publicationyear_log2_expression, and each dataset had common headers as well representing each replicate such as yeaststrain_treatment_concentration_LogFC_time-replicate. The final database is linked together through a standardized ID that each of the datasets contained.

Assessment of Project

Objective Assessment
- Overall, our team did a great job with staying on task. With the responsibilities that we were given for this project, our team carried them out in a timely manner, and we all worked together to get it done. We consistently met up to talk about our project and asked each other for help along the way, creating a strong group dynamic.
What worked and didn't work?
- What worked really well was that we each focused on our specific responsibilities and asked each other if we needed assistance. From focusing on our own tasks, we were able to understand our roles more. The only difficulty with this project was the workload that we each had outside of this, so maintaining a balance between our Database coursework and our other coursework.
What would you do differently?
- Since my responsibility came a little later on in the milestones, I would have liked to understand more what the other members of my group were doing, specifically the data analysts. I would have had a better understanding early on what actions were being carried out in the project. I would like to also have taken more initiative in helping the other members.
Team Evaluation
- Content
-I think the quality of work was good. I feel very proud of our team in the way that we presented our data to the class and was happy with the outcome.
- Organization
-The organization of our project was good. Since the project itself was very step-by-step, that helped us with coming up with a timeline of each of our milestones. Regarding the wiki page, our deliverables page is very well organized with each assignment that needs to be on it and whether or not the task is complete. There is always room for improvement with organization in general, so there could have been a better flow with navigating certain links, but overall our organization turned out good.
- Completedness
-Our team completed all of the project objectives. There was not one moment where we forgot to do something or neglected to include something. We were able to complete everything and in a timely manner.

Reflection on the Process

What did you learn?
- With your Head
-From this project as well as this whole semester, I have learned how to analyze data in a microarray with understanding gene expression as well as why databases are important in these specific experiments. I have also learned more about what Microsoft Access is (I have always had it on my computer just sitting there) and how it is important in storing data and creating databases.
- With your Heart
-From my team, I was able to learn that it is okay to ask for help. I constantly asked my team to explain certain things to me especially since I had to miss half of class the first day, we were assigned these tasks. I have also learned that being understanding of each other really helps when working in a team. Our team was very understanding of other coursework that needed to be done and was able to work around all of our schedules.
- With your Hands
-I have learned more about technology in general and how computer technology can be incorporated into Biology. I was always interested in seeing how these two relate and through this have learned the importance of having comprehensible reproducible data.
What lessons did you take away from this project that you will still use a year from now?
- From this project, I have learned that it is important to always be consistent and comprehensible when producing different experiments for others to understand and take away. It is important to lay out everything and to not neglect to include different methods or vital information when explaining data.

Naomi Tesfaiohannes's Final Reflection

Statement of Work

Describe exactly what you did on the project.

For this project I served as the project manager and the quality assurance guild. As project manager I communicated with Dr. Dahlquist of the steps that were made and need to continue to be made for the project. I also checked in with my team members of their progress with their roles. As QA I worked along with Joey on the datasheets to hand off to the Data Analysts. I also contributed to presenting and putting together the final presentation.

Give an objective assessment of the success of your project workflow and teamwork.

What worked and what didn't work?

What worked was meeting outside of class and keeping in touch with progress by using the group chat What didn't work was sometimes not being able to answer each other's questions. Leaving us all confused.

What would you do differently if you could do it all over again?

Ask more questions about analyzing new data instead of trying to figure it out on my own.

Evaluate your team’s portion of the Final Project and Group Report in the following areas:

Content: What is the quality of the work?

Our work is a reflection of the collaborative effort from all of the team members in trying to understand the new data we reanalyzed.

Organization: Comment on the organization of the project and of your group's wiki pages.

Our group stayed organized by splitting up what sections we would work on. That way we could come together at the end of the slides to review what still needs to be understood.

Completeness: Did your team achieve all of the project objectives? Why or why not?

Yes, but at our own pace. The objectives were completed by going through the deliverables for each members.

Reflection on the Process

What did you learn?

With your head (biological or computer science principles)

Connecting the affects of arsenic to budding yeast

With your heart (personal qualities and teamwork qualities that make things work or not work)?

Teamwork and collaborating with others by contributing my own section of work with theirs to form an overall analysis of the data.

With your hands (technical skills)?

Formatting the database column titles

What lesson will you take away from this project that you will still use a year from now?

It's important to ask questions when struggling with something new, for example a database format you are not familiar with. It's not a bad thing to ask questions, and it doesn't mean you are unaware of what is happening. Questions help with understanding making it easier for the student to present on the material.

Ivy Macaraeg's Final Reflection

Statement of Work

Describe exactly what you did on the project.

-For this project, I worked with Marcus to organize and analyze the data. We worked together during and outside of class time to figure out what we needed to do so that the other members of our team could complete their jobs. I also worked with the other groups to better understand my role and the project in general. I helped do the ANOVA, STEM, GO, GRNsight, and GRNmap analyses. I also helped put together the final project and the final report.
