CSC8309 -- Gene Expression and Proteomics

Assessment

The experiment which we have analysed is a time-course experiment. For your assignment, you need to perform an analysis of one of the other time points. You may pick any time point that you choose.

Deliverables

A finished paper produced in the style of a Bioinformatics paper. You can see some examples of the style at http://www.oxfordjournals.org/bioinformatics/for_authors/general.html

The paper should obey a strict 4 page limit. People exceeding this page limit will be penalised. You must obey the style guide lines for bioinformatics — you should not shrink font sizes.

Marks will be given for scientific writing style (10%), background (10%), methods (35%), results of analysis (30%) and discussion of the results(15%).

In particular, additional marks will be award for:

• Clear descriptions of the analysis methods and analysis of results.
• Use of additional resources to support your analysis.
• Comparison of the results of your time-point to that example given in this tutorial.
• Comparison of your results to analyses of other time-points performed by other students; please ensure that you attribute each others work appropriately.
