Halophiles

Erin and Andrew getting ortholog sets all halophile genomes

Darpa

Getting taxon counts from Steve using essentially Amphora 2 pipeline

Erebus

Contacted Craig about skype call soon.

Protein family stuff

Starting with PFAM counts across all GOS samples

• Looking at samples
  • alpha diversity of GOS samples (measure total protein diversity in each sample)
    • provide a listing of most diverse samples and indicated if those are environmentally related
  • beta diversity of GOS samples (are the samples related...presumbly yes)
    • show a tree and possible a network describing the relatedness of the samples
  • estimate total number of different protein families for each sample and all samples combined using chao index?
• Looking at families
  • alpha diversity. what fams are the most rich (not that interesting), diverse (interesting and informative)
    • provide list of most diverse families and maybe suggest why those are so diverse?
  • beta diversity -> do the groupings tell us anything (e.g. are they similar function, similar localization, etc.)
    • map to GO terms to see if similar function
  • chao index
    • estimate total number of proteins for each family in the ocean (what is the most prevalent)

Collaboration with Steve would be a comparison between diversity measurements using taxon vs phylogenetic vs functional
