See post for details.
Updates:
- WDA went great (working on a notebook post on it)
- Got revisions back for the immune response paper (goals to tackle it below)
Goals:
Crab Paper
Aspen has a paper on BioRxiv and she did a beautiful job! We want it to be submitted to a peer review journal, and so I’ll take on that task since she’s graduated and moved on. (Paper on BioRxiV: Uncovering Host-Parasite Dynamics: Gene Expression Shifts in Hematodinium-infected Chionoecetes bairdi in Response to Temperature Change)
Notebook posts
- Notebook post about our sea star team’s announcement
- Notebook post about what I did for the multispecies work for WDA
Paper Revisions
Most revisions will be easy. One reviewer suggested re-doing/re-assessing the age class comparison, and they provided this really cool and detailed blog post that I’ll look at and see what comes of it. (Blog post: A guide to designs and contrasts in DESeq2)
So I’ll:
- Re-do the
DESeq2
based on the guide linked above - address remaining comments after
Multi-species work
I have more data coming in September!! So in the mean time, here’s what I can do:
- Look for orthologs → there are programs specific for that
- Compare genomes independent of the data
- Set up notebooks so that when data comes in, I can plug things in and run them
