BINF 730 – Biological Sequence Analysis
Final Projects
Final Project Proposal Due March 19, 2008
Final Project Presentation on April 30, 2008
For the final project for the course the students will present some current bioinformatics
research found in the literature. The students must do the following:
1. Find a bioinformatics article from the literature and duplicate the work presented
in the article.
2. Add some additional piece of research not included in the article. This can be
some addition to an exiting algorithm, addition analysis using existing tools or
codes derived in class or comparison to one of the methods discussed in class
3. Make a 15-minute presentation on April 30, 2008 explaining the background for
the article, what the researchers did in the article and what the students have
added.
4. The groups should meet with me weekly to discuss progress, get help with
problems, and let me know what they have planned for the next week. This should
be similar to the timeline described in the proposal.
5. A short written report (approx 5 pages)
For the project proposals due March 19, 2008, write up and turn in approximately 1 page
describing the following:
1. Identify the members in the group.
2. Choose and article (you might want to show this to me before hand to get my
input).
3. Describe what the group plans on doing including a week by week timeline of
project tasks. Note that this can be modified during the course of the project if a
new interesting idea comes up or for another good reason.
Grading for the final project will be based on the following criteria:
· 25% project proposal
·
25% sticking to time line and meeting goals set each week in the weekly meetings
·
50% final project presentation and written report on April 30, 2008.
