Cbcb:Pop-Lab:Ted-Report

Summer 2009 Goals

• Research traditional approaches taken to gene-level analysis of metagenomic data
  
• Critically evaluate the traditional approaches in general and in the context of current Pop Lab projects
  
• Identify portions of the analysis that can be automated
  
• Develop scalable tools to do the automated analysis

May 15, 2009

• Read VisANT paper and user manual[1]. Determined VisANT will work for manual metabolic pathway analysis of even large scale data sets and can be automated by running in "Batch Mode".
  
• Need to read about FastHMM[2]
• Still need to make "Welcome Wiki" for n00bs (read: new members)
