Spring 2016

January 15, 2016

  • branch
  • date time downloaded
  • name file link to download
  • bug, functionality, priorities
  • priority level
    • 0-greatest priority
    • 0.5- next up to work on
    • 1- …
    • 2- least priority
  • data analysis- data not code
  • question- asking people questions
  • dont close issues on your own- write comment “resolved because…” and label review requested
  • purely website ones
  • assignments- assign issues to people (sparingly assign things to him)
  • give updates when working in between meetings
  • make electronic lab notebook that describes what was done each day- use as repository for files and such
  • go through wiki checklist and edit user page to skills
  • assignment for data bases class
  • format like resume
  • alphabetize the genes - gonna take some time

January 22, 2016

  • p= production rate
  • w=weight
  • b=”threshold”
  • Can control any of these parameters
  • Production and threshold for every gene in network
  • weight for every edge in network
  • Number of timepoints vs number of parameters is out of whack
  • trying to find overall set of values to closest set of values- might never converge on an answer
  • LSE vs. penalty being plotted
  • “sweet spot” for alpha value found in “elbow” of curve
  • questions trying to answer:
  • ex. what happens if ….?
    • estimate w,p,b
    • estimate just p
    • estimate just w
    • estimate just b
  • compare sigmoid to mm
  • want to look at just wild type or wild type plus mutant
  • strain influence/ strain #

January 29th, 2016

  • abstracts for undergrad symposium due by the 12th
  • honors research grant also due by the 12th
  • with grace on poster for symposium
  • read trace paper
  • not separating transcription and translation
  • implementation verification
  • output- tough because where we’d be making predictions
  • change model to production_function in excel
  • l-curve function call it 0
  • put between production function and estimate_params
  • run l curve analysis this week\
  • Do 4 runs this week- do largest and smallest networks
    • +/- deletion strains
    • generates 4 l curves
      • LSE on y-axis
      • penalty on x-axis
      • Should look like l (put labels for alpha values)
  • make_graphs=0

February 5, 2016

  • figure out how to run multi-core processor
  • name of file- remove “dahlquist data” and put in initials of person running it instead
  • make sure everyone deleted the same strains
  • will be working with wild type data from beginning to understand process

February 11, 2016

  • meet up with Brandon in Dahlquist’s lab to work on project on some day next week
    • meeting next week is at 3:15
  • plot data from LSE runs
  • by next week- alpha selected, data collected
  • replace 41998 #VALUE!
  • 23 is correct # of data points wt
    • t15=4
    • t30=5
    • t60=4
    • t90=5
    • t120=5
    • total=23
  • 20 is correct # data points dcin5
    • t15=4
    • t30=4
    • t60=4
    • t90=4
    • t120=4
    • total=20

  • Quantitate the fluorescence signal in each spot (GenePix Pro)
  • Calculate the ratio of red/green fluorescence (GenePix Pro)
  • Log transform the ratios (GenePix Pro)
  • Normalize the ratios on each microarray slide (within-chip normalization)
  • Normalize the ratios for a set of slides in an experiment (between-chip normalization)
  • Perform statistical analysis on the ratios
    • Within-strain ANOVA
    • Modified t test for each timepoint
    • Between-strain ANOVA
    • Benjamini & Hochberg and Bonferroni p value corrections for the above three tests
  • "Sanity Check" on above three tests
  • Determining candidate transcription factors and gene regulatory network (YEASTRACT)
  • Dynamical modeling with GRNmap; visualization with GRNsight

February 19, 2016

  • Grace to finish honors ambassadorial grant for Experimental Biology Conference in April
  • Output parameter comparison for largest network with added strains for alpha values:
    • 0.01
    • 0.008
    • 0.005
    • 0.002
    • 0.001
  • To complete for the poster (two weeks after spring break)
  • Stick with subfamily with strains_added
  • "Production runs:" Evaluate (with graphs) the networks of 15, 34, 25, 20, and 30 genes.
  • Help Grace run these networks
