Computational Molecular Biology and Genomics Projects - Fall 04

[Presentation schedule] [Deadlines] [Guidelines]

Students in 03-711 and 15-856 must complete a class project. The project can be a computational project or a literature survey.
 
Computational projects:   Computational projects will be carried out in groups of two to four people. Since interdisciplinary projects require a mix of knowledge and skills, groups should be diverse. Ideally, a group will include students from different departments and a mix of undergraduates, MS and PhD students. I will help to match up people with different backgrounds to form groups.
    Deliverables: A topic proposal, a final oral presentation and a short summary of the work carried out and results obtained.
 
Literature surveys:   Survey papers will be written individually.
    Deliverables: A topic proposal, a final oral presentation and a final paper.

Suggestions for topic areas and data sources are given in the pages linked below. You may also suggest a topic of interest to you, subject to approval by me. More than one project on the same topic is discouraged.


Deadlines:

      Sep 28:   Email statement of interest.
      Oct 12:   One paragraph statement of topic, listing group members.
      Oct 26:   1-3 page proposal/outline.
      Dec 7 - 9:   Presentations
      Dec 9:   Final paper due.


Guidelines for citations:

      Sources: their use and acknowledgment
       Dartmouth College, Committee on Sources (7 September 1998).
      Citation Style for Research Papers
       Long Island University, B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library.
      Citation and Style Guides
       Concordia University Libraries.

Guidelines for presentation style:

      Patrick Winston's lecturing heuristics
