Here is a tentative list of goals for the month of February:

  • Transfer P. lutea and P. verrucosa data files to Gannet and display genome annotation session in IGV with linked data.

  • Finish metadata summary for preliminary genome data assessment.

  • Familiarize myself with the Putnam Lab Express_Compare repository and figure out how to use LncPipe to identufy long noncoding RNA molecules.

  • Meet with Stephane Maritorena to get a better idea of current MCR remote sensing data archives.

  • Work through machine learning methods shared in lab meetings to figure out whether or not they would be feasible for use in my work.

  • Start posting weekly reviews of papers relevant to my interests and (at the very least) biweekly lab notebook updates.
