==== Final Paper ====
===== Style Sheet =====
Use the following guidelines when formatting your paper.
* 1" margins
* double-spaced
* Times New Roman, 12 point font
* Number the pages
* Title page should include a descriptive title for your project, your name, the course number and name, and the date of submission
===== Introduction =====
The introduction gives the background information necessary to understand your paper. The introduction should be in the form of a logical argument that "funnels" from broad to narrow:

* States importance of the problem
Why are we studying gene regulation and cold shock?
* States what is known about the problem
Introduce the DNA microarray experiment that was performed.
* States what is unknown about the problem
You want to analyze the data with GenMAPP/MAPPFinder, but can't because there is no Gene Database for your species
* States clues that suggest how to approach the unknown
Introduce XMLPipeDB and GenMAPP Builder as the answer to this problem
* States the question the paper is trying to address
In this case you want to discover new information about the microarray data using GenMAPP
=== Methods ===
* This section will summarize the entire workflow for the project.  This needs to be a narrative description of what your team actually did.
# Download the UniProt XML proteome set and GOA (GO association) files from [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/integr8/EBI-Integr8-HomePage.do Integr8] for your species.
#* Note the date of download and the version of the file from the [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/integr8/HelpAction.do?action=searchById&refId=5 status page].
# Download GO terms from [http://www.geneontology.org/GO.downloads.ontology.shtml Gene Ontology] in the OBO-XML format, the "obo-xml.gz" file.
# Create the GenMAPP Builder tables in PostgreSQL.
# Load files into PostgreSQL database via GenMAPP Builder.
# Export into a GenMAPP Gene Database.
# Inspect/vet/validate Gene Database.
# Prepare microarray data (organize, normalize, perform statistical analysis)
# Run GenMAPP using the Gene Database.
#* Microarray data (import using Expression Dataset Manager)
#* Run MAPPFinder analysis
#* Place genes on MAPP and draw pathway
=== Results ===
* Gene Database Schema
* Gene Database Testing Report on final version of Gene Database
* Report on quantity and identity of gene IDs that did not make it into the database
*# Gene IDs that were not in the XML source at all
*# Gene IDs that were in the XML source but did not get imported into Postgres
*# Gene IDs that were in Postgres but did not get exported to the GenMAPP Gene Database
* Report on what changes need to be made to the GenMAPP Builder code in order to to accommodate the second and third type of missing gene IDs
** If your team was able to make such changes, report on the results of these changes
* Report results of the DNA microarray analysis
** How many genes were significantly increased and decreased in the dataset? (including your criteria for a significant increase or decrease)
** Table of MAPPFinder results (from .xls)
** GenMAPP MAPP of a pathway relevant to your results
=== Discussion ===
* How well did the GenMAPP Builder process work for your species (just comment on the technical aspects here, you will discuss the teamwork/process aspects in your individual assessment).
* Discuss the MAPPFinder results for your microarray dataset.  Compare it to what was reported in the original paper you got the microarray data from.
=== References ===
* Please use the [https://www.cs.lmu.edu/biodb/wiki/images/2/2b/BIOL398-01_GuidelinesforLiteratureCitations.pdf Guidelines for Literature Citations in a Scientific Paper].  The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APA_style#Citation APA format] is also very similar to these guidelines and will be acceptable.  Be consistent with your format for the in text citations and for your references list at the end.
