October Goals Recap:

Manchester:

• I resubmitted the paper! :tada:

Virginica:

This is how I spent most of my time.

• Finalized parameters for bismark and methylKit
• Tested tiling window analysis for DMR identification
• Started bismark job on Mox
• Presented revised findings to Eastern oyster methylation project group
• Updated methods and results so Steven could validate parameters and ensure they were reproducible

DNR:

• Addressed minor reviewer comments
• Got information from Micah and Alex about outplant methods
• Selected multivariate analysis procedure to explore environmental data and reltionship between environmental data and protein abundance data

Gigas Broodstock:

• Successfully extracted broodstock DNA!

November Goals

DNR:

• Upload preprint to bioRXiv
• Complete multivariate analyses on environmental data and protein abundance data
• Remake figures
• Finish manuscript revisions
• Upload all supplementary materials to the appropriate databases
• Organize paper repository
• Resubmit to MEPS

Virginica:

• Finish bismark alignment on Mox
• Run methylKit and bedtools on alignments from Mox
• Figure out closest for flanking analysis
