Overview
You will write a brief memo about your study of diagnostic primers for identifying microsporidia.
The target audience is an advisor for whom you are preparing a relatively informal (but accurate!) report.
Logistics
Please email your completed summary to 20109 DOT submit AT gmail DOT com, with filename Firstinitial_Lastname_LabSection_Mod1.doc (for example, R_Reif_TR_Mod2.doc).
This assignment is due by 11 am on March 19th (Tuesday) or March 20th (Wednesday), according to which day you have lab.
Content Guidelines
Two primary sections -- one on design and one on results -- will make up the memo.
Design
Here you should include the following:
- A short (1-2 paragraph) introduction motivating your design challenge and explaining your design choices.
- A table comparing the properties of the V1-PMP2 primer set and your primer set.
The text related to your specific design choices should explicitly refer to the table.
Results
Here you should include the following:
- A short (1-2 paragraph) description of your findings.
- A figure depicting your raw PCR results (as seen on a gel).
- Optionally, a figure or table depicting the PCR results in some processed form.
The figure should include a complete caption as for a publication.
