Title: Bioinformatics workshop


1
Bioinformatics workshop
  • Olivia Swan
  • Neah Bay
  • June 21-25, 2004

2
The Ride Here!!!!
  • At first Lesly and I met Ching-Pa and Lin Hia at
    the Museum
  • After we left Neah Bay we went to pick up Cynthia
    at Sappho
  • We went to catch the ferry and there was a long
    line to get there and people were getting mad at
    the people that work there at the ferry
  • After we got off the ferry we went to a real
    Chinese restaurant and Lesly had squid (really
    nasty)
  • After we left the restaurant we started are way
    to Richland and we all fell asleep
  • We got here in Richland at 330 in the morning
    and I didnt go to sleep until 430 in the
    morning

The workshop Begins
  • When we got here in the college Chuck handed out
    packets and a binder for our papers we also got a
    book called The guide to genetics which is
    written by Larry Monick and Mark Whellis
  • After the packets were handed out there was a
    couple of slide shows that was like a review of
    biology, which described the proteins, inherited
    traits, heredity, chromosomes, and mutation.

4
The first thing I learned before we started
  • The first thing I learned on this day was every
    ones names and where they were from. I also
    learned how to speak to everyone without being
    shy to them.

5
  • Today during the workshop I started to read a
    little bit of The Cartoon Guide to Genetics and
    it is really funny and fun to read unlike the
    biology and advanced biology books in school.

6
The introduction to Heredity
  • Heredity is a trait that is passed from the
    parent to the offspring and helps determine the
    eye color, hair color, and weather your hair is
    straight or curly.

7
Proteins
  • The total nitrogenous material in plant or animal
    substances
  • Definition-complex structure that has high
    molecular weight composed of amino acids linked
    together by peptide bonds

8
The Double Helix
  • The double helix consists of hydrogen bonds,
    Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, and Thymine
  • If you were to take the double helix apart it
    would look like its unzipping like a zipper
  • It consists of a pair of polynucleotide strands
    connected by hydrogen bonds
  • Definition of double helix-double spiral of DNA

9
Cell Reproduction
  • In cell reproduction the cell divides and becomes
    symmetry (or the same as the other) and does this
    through out the human body

10
Day two of the workshop
  • For today our Guest speaker was Steven
    Pechous

11
NCBI
  • Today we discussed National Center for
    Biotechnology information (NCBI) which was
    established in 1988 as part of the National
    Library of Medicine

12
What I learned on this day
  • I learned how to go onto the NCBI web site and
    look at new books and things like that
  • I also learned about GenBank, Blink and BLAST,
    plus the Genomic resources
  • I also learned not to be shy to ask a question

13
What I learned about the web site
  • Going through the NCBI web page we learned to
    use the tools and the database in the biology
    curriculum.

14
Day three of the workshop
  • The guest speaker today is
  • Willem Rensink

15
  • Willem taught us to go onto the TIGR website a
    compare different things like the potato and the
    tomato. I learned that they are so similar to
    each other which is really cool because I
    compared the Rat to a Mouse and are so similar
    to.
  • To compare the sequences to see the
    similarities is a lot of fun, it showed me that
    learning a new thing could be fun and it was.

Day Four of the workshop
  • Guest speaker
  • George Vandemark

18
Phytophthora Root Rot
  • Phytophthora root rot causes the plant to slowly
    develop
  • Its causes the plant to be susceptible
  • The plant will be able to get sick very easily
    and it has a funny color compared to a healthy
    plant

19
Another guest speaker
  • Ted Kisha
  • National Plant Germplasm System

20
  • National Plant Germplasm System
  • In this part of the slide show it discusses that
    through GRIN they take it and evaluate it and
    regrow it and distribute the plant when they have
    enough to maintain this plant so it will exist
    for a long time. The database contains over
    450,000 discrete accessions.

21
  • Another thing that he discussed was where
    certain things were planted like in Palms, Alaska
    they grow Yarrow, Northern Reed grass, Sedge
    grass, and toadflax. In Hilo, Hawaii they grow
    Bananas, Breadfruit, macadamia nuts, and
    passionflower. In Aberdeen, Idaho they grow
    National small grains collection (wheat/barley).
    In College Station, Texas they grow cotton and
    Hickory. These are just some of the places that
    grow certain plants in there area. This is a way
    to preserve plants so they dont go extinct.

22
  • The thing that most interests me is when he told
    us about the Green House and the cold storage
    facilities to preserve plants.

23
  • The exercise that we did was called an alignment
    of sequences
