Back Burner

I haven’t worked on these projects in a while, but they are next on my to-do list. I don’t think they need to be in the deep freeze so I guess I gotta turn the back burner on!

Hawaii Gigas Methylation:

• Revise methylKit code
• Run bismark with the new C. gigas genome
• Update methods and results
• Revise discussion
• Revise introduction
• Revise abstract

Deep Freeze

Things that are not immediate enough to be on the backburner, so they’re stuck in the deep freeze.

Coral Transcriptomics:

These are things I need to do and can probably knock out in a week, but I think they’re a lower priority right now for me since there’s more momentum on other projects. At the very least, I need to reach out to collaborators and get this going again.

• Revise abstract
• Write discussion
• Write introduction
