How did I do on my goals for this month?

Writing and manuscripts

  1. e5 ncRNA complete draft of manuscript submit to biorxiv - nope, basically done though
  2. Pacuta manuscript submit to biorixiv - nope, very close to being done. Hollie has now done all of her edits
  3. Results for Mcap 2023 - no writing, just data analysis

Sample processing

  1. Send WGBS e5 deep dive samples - yes Zoe sent while I was away
  2. Process e5 timeseries samples for lipids + metabolites - yes, about halfway done

Data analysis

  1. Rerun cutadapt for Mcap data - yes
  2. Rerun mirdeep2 for Mcap - yes
  3. Identify 3’UTRs for Mcap -yes
  4. Run miranda with Mcap data - yes
  5. Run mirtarrnaseq or mirDREM for Mcap data - yes, mirtarrnaseq
  6. Work on SICB presentation - yes

Field work / travel

  1. Book flights for sicb - yes
  2. CBASS workshop! - yes!!!!! Super great workshop, very glad that I went

My Mcap data for sicb still doesn’t look amazing, but we are moving forward. The CBASS workshop was a wonderful experience, I am very glad that I went. Hopefully in 2025, I will have some more first author papers.
