July reflection

How did I do with my goals for this month?

Writing and manuscripts

  1. Dissertation proposal submission to grad school - need to do this lolololol.
  2. Complete Pacuta 2022 manuscript edits and send to co-authors - kinda? I redid the analyses with GO MWU and am rewriting discussion now
  3. Resubmission of Astrangia review - in the process of adding recently published papers
  4. e5 ncRNA results - sort of? miRNA and piRNA seem to be going well
  5. Write postdoc blurbs and send - nopeeeeee

Sample processing

  1. Re-amp 12 remaining miRNA Mcap 2023 samples - yes, success!
  2. Re-amp 6 WGBS e5 deep dive samples - order more enzymes - more enzyme arrived today
  3. Phys stuff for AST and Mcap DT - bope

Data analysis

  1. 3’UTR for AST 2021 and rerun miRanda with that info - nope
  2. Start Apul structural and functional annotation - Trinity and I met, she will be working on funannotate and I will be looking into methylation tools for pacbio reads
  3. Catch up on e5 analysis

Field work / travel

  1. Flo experiment at BIOS - done
  2. Research diving course at BIOS (June 23 - July 13) - done
