 *Also, out of the four databases you accessed for this assignment (SGD itself, NCBI Gene Database, Ensembl, UniProt), which did you like the best, and why? Which did you like the least, and why?

 I loved UniProt. UniProt was incredibly easy to navigate, intuitive to browse, and had attractive graphics and almost all of the information that could be found in the other databases. I also liked SGD, but found UniProt to be smoother in a sense. I liked the way the information was organized on UniProt. Ensembl on the other hand seemed to lack navigability and attractiveness. It was sparse and did not have as much information as SGD or UniProt and had very few graphics.

 I found this quote: “I can talk to someone who used to work at Amazon.com or Microsoft about his or her work without feeling a burning shame,” to be hilariously relatable. I am tech savvy, and I find computers easy and relatively intuitive to use, but when the real tech people walk in, everything kind of falls apart. One reason I took this class was so I could try to hold up in conversations with my computer science friends when they say things that would usually go straight up and over my head. I think surrounding myself with more computer science knowledge will help with that, as it did with the author of this article, Paul Ford.

 #A quote from the article that I need further explanation for is “we haven’t even considered how to store it, or what happens to the letters to the left and the right when you insert an “a” in the middle of a sentence. Or what “lines and circles” mean when reduced to binary data”. This quote needs further explanation to me because this section attempts to capture the complexity of doing such a simple task on a computer. I am not familiar with binary data, or how computers store information, or how computers are able to contain all of this information. It is all very foreign to me and seems like a world that I know nothing about. It feels like these computers are machines that speak a different language that attempt to display information in a way that we understand.
 #My favorite of all the databases was Uniprot, because it contained the most detailed summary for the function of the gene, as well as mentioning other genes and proteins that the gene interacts with to regulate transcription. It also contained a picture of the protein structure, which I consider to be a valuable piece of information. My least favorite was ensembl, for it was very difficult to even find the page with the gene on it, it required my homework partner to email my professor to find the page with the gene. Some sections of the page with the gene also contained limited information. Such as the phenotypes tab, in which most of the sections says “none found”.

		+	#A quote that I found very interesting is “An algorithm can be translated into a function, and that function can be called (run) when software is executed. I found this quote particularly interesting because the context of it explains why entire softwares or websites are not algorithms, for they are made up of several algorithms, and they run these individual algorithms. I think the quote also explains that algorithms by themselves do not need to be complex, and many of them are not, for they are just an individual function. However, when many algorithms are put together, they make something far greater that does a variety of tasks, for they are made of a variety of smaller functions.

+SGD's organization into categories made it easier to navigate and find specific information about our gene, Sir2. The database neatly sorted details about the gene's function, expression patterns, associated research studies, and related publications into distinct categories. This clear organization allowed me to quickly locate the relevant sections I needed to understand Sir2's role in yeast biology. Whether I was looking for information about its function, expression patterns, or research studies, SGD's organized layout made the search process efficient and straightforward.
