CSE143 Winter 2005 - Project #2 Report

Gene Data Search - The Writeup

Due: Monday, Feb. 28 by 5 pm. No late assignments will be accepted.

You may hand your report in during lecture on Monday, or bring it to the CSE main office in the Allen Center during regular office hours Monday (9am-noon and 1-5pm).

For this last part of the project, you should write by yourself a written report about your project using the detailed report guidelines on the course web site. The project report is an important part of the project, and counts for a significant part of the overall score that you receive for your work.

Some specific suggestions to go along with the report guidelines:

  • Describe how you decided to organize your gene data, codon translation data, (and whatever else you might have) after reading it in:
    • What sort of data structures did you use?
    • Were there any difficulties?  How did you work around them?
    • Anything you'd like to do differently if you had more time?
  • Describe how your searches operate:
    • What algorihms or procedures did you come up with (especially for edit distance and for searches over all gene sequences).
  • Remember to point out work you did for extra credit!
    • If you implemented a GUI or other user interface, please tell us how to use it!
Grading: Your report will be evaluated both for its technical content and for the quality of the writing, both on a scale of 0-4. The project assessment guidelines have more details.
