Lab Attendance
Lab attendance is mandatory and there are no make-up labs. A family crisis or severe illness requiring attention from the infirmary and prohibiting you from all your coursework are acceptable reasons for missing lab and every effort will be made to accommodate you in these exceptional circumstances.
Grading
| Assignment | % of Final Grade |
|---|---|
| Daily Lab Quizzes | 15% |
| Daily Lab Notebook | 25% |
| Research Article Review | 30% |
| Design Project Report & Presentation | 30% |
Research Article Review
The class will work in groups of 2 or 3 to read and review the following 5 articles:
- Ow DW, DE Wet JR, Helinski DR, Howell SH, Wood KV, and Deluca M. . pmid:17758108.
- Horstmann V, Huether CM, Jost W, Reski R, and Decker EL. . pmid:15239842.
- Gibson DG. . pmid:19745056.
- Chan LY, Kosuri S, and Endy D. . pmid:16729053.
- Rutherford SL and Lindquist S. . pmid:9845070.
- Dewannieux M, Harper F, Richaud A, Letzelter C, Ribet D, Pierron G, and Heidmann T. . pmid:17077319.
- Firefly+Plants: Karina, Alex
- Moss Transformation: Drew <-- demo on Tuesday
- Gene Building in Yeast: Travis, Aaditya, Daniel
- Refactoring A Genome: Sunny, Frank
- Evolutionary Capacitance: Claire, Sanjay
- Retrovirus Resurrection: Scott, Chris
Each team will need to prepare a 15 minute presentation summarizing your reading and critical assessment of each paper. Your presentation should be 6 slides (not more, not less), following this structure:
- Cover slide (authors, title of paper, journal)
- Main finding (explain the single most important discovery or new technology presented in the paper)
- Primary evidence (how is the main finding supported by the work presented in the paper?)
- Main weakness (what is the strongest criticism or weakness that can leveled at the work presented in the paper?)
- Future work (given the work presented in the paper, what are the 3 most important questions to be answered, or tools to be developed, next?)
- Related reading (list four related research articles that you would like to read next in order to followup on what you've learned from this paper; state your "why" for each paper.
GRADING: Two-thirds of your grade will be on the content and quality of your six slides (please be concise and clear). One-third of your grade will be on your presentation. All readers/presenters should speak during the presentation.
SLIDE DESIGN: Take a look at the advice here, then use or find your own style!
