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
