• Got feedback from Alex and Micah at the end of April!

Manchester:

• I SUCESSFULLY CHANNELED MY INNER MAC AND WROTE AN ENTIRE PAPER IN 15 DAYS AND SUBMITTED IT ON TIME!

Virginica:

• Took a subset of my sequencing data through genome preparation, sequence alignment, and methylation extraction in bismark

Other:

• Compiled a list of Ph.D project ideas and discussed them with Steven
• Developed an outreach activity for the SEAS 2018 Open House

May Goals

DNR:

• Address Alex and Micah’s feedback

Virginica:

• Understand methylkit and MACAU 2.0 for differential methylation analyses
• Run a subset of samples through the pipeline for differential methylation analysis
• Start the pipeline with all samples
• Start writing methods and (maybe) results for Pubathon

Larval Mortality:

• Start analyzing larval mortality data in a robust way
