And everyone had a course repo

That resulted into a “Final Product” by the end.

Here are the highlights of everyone’s efforts.



@MeganEDuffy was quite committed, examining the metaproteomic profile in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Oxygen Minimum Zone.

Duffy, Megan (2016): Metaproteomic profile of an OMZ, version 1. figshare. https://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.4428059.v1 Retrieved: 15 19, Dec 19, 2016 (GMT)

The three underlying goals:

  • Complete both database searching based and de novo sequencing protein identifications for a series of seven depths (55 m to 2500 m) from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific (ETNP) oxygen minimum zone. Compare the quality of identifications from each method and with depth.

  • Use identified proteins and peptides to get a sense of microbial diversity compared with oxygen concentration.

  • Compare the ability of de novo peptide sequencing and database searching to identify E. coli peptide standards

One of many of the findings:

@aspanger looked at Coho salmon differential expression analysis across a land use gradient in freshwater streams.

He pushed 18 commits to master and 18 commits to all branches. On master, 1,818 files have changed and there have been 1,420,664 additions and 924,335 deletions.

Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) are heavily dependent on small stream habitat for rearing, spending over a year in these habitats before out migrating. These fresh water habitats are susceptible to anthropogenic impact from structural changes to habitat, temperature effects from increased runoff and reduced canopy cover, flow changes, and an increased presence of toxicants both from point and non-point sources. As such, Coho health can serve of an indication of anthropogenic influence in these habitats and are of great interest due to their cultural and commercial importance.

This project uses sequencing data from coho collected at four streams spanning an urban impact gradient. The objectives are:

  • Construct a de novo transcriptome for a non-sequenced species.
  • Use the annotated Rainbow Trout and Atlantic Salmon genomes to annotate the resulting transcriptome.
  • Conduct differential expression analysis between habitat conditions with the intent of identifying biomarkers indicative of toxicant exposure, immune deficiencies, and temperature stress.
  • Use Gene Ontology analysis to explore the biological function of observed gene expression differences and to help explain the transcriptome in the context of other sequencing work that’s been completed on coho.

There was lots of data that informed

pca

and at the end of the quarter, there were several circles.

more at GitHub - aspanjer/RNAseq_Coho

and this is what the repo structure looks like

Analysis: the results of each analytical step to complete the above objectives (e.g. FastQC results, trimmed sequencing files, etc)

BlastDB: the unique species specific blast databases used for annotating the transcriptome

Data_raw: the 48 raw PE sequencing files for each of the 24 sampled individual fish. (available on request)

Jupyter_notebook: contains the notebooks for my class project. Focuses on the de novo assembly of a coho transcriptome and subsequent differential expression analysis and annotation:

DataQC and Trinity Prep Differential Expression Annotation Gene Ontology

Scripts: Scripts used for analysis that aren’t download directly to my computer through Anaconda (these will be documented in my notebook).
