Part Two Identification of bacteria by DNA sequencing
Sequencing Reaction: One Primer, labeled dNTPs, other PCR reagents Beckman CEQ 8000 Capillary Head Sequencer
Sequences emailed from facility. FinchTVTM:A free Chromatograph Viewing Program
Identify Unknown Bacteria at NCBI: Basic Local Alignment Search Tool
NCBI: A Worldwide Resource Origination of some “HITS” to our sequences
RESULTS:Alignment All Samples Monday Lab Conserved and Variable Regions Generated using ClustalW (free Alignment maker)
RESULTS:Relatedness Alignments are the Basis of Phylogenic Trees 16SrRNA DNA amplified using Primer Set #1 Unrooted tree (generated by Phylip's Drawtree: another online program)
RESULTS:Generating a longer fragment The first primer set amplifies the middle of the 16s DNA, and the second primer set amplifies an end. The sequences overlap so in the future these primers could be used to get a longer sequence. Example Next Slide: Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Primer Set #1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate: 82% identity match with E. coli Region of Alignment PCR sample Full length E. coli 16S rRNA gene ~425 bases of alignable DNA sequence generated
Primer Set #2 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate: 83% identity match with E. coli Region of Alignment of PCR Full length E. coli 16S rRNA gene ~280 bases of alignable DNA sequence generated
Communicating Science: The Real WorldIt is just as important to be able to communicate your results to others as it is to gather and interpret data. • Peer Reviewed Journal Articles • Conferences: • ShortPresentations • Poster Sessions • Informal Networking, Retreats etc. Real Deal
2) Talks in General: Title: Often good to come up with your own Background: What was the question they were trying to answer? Methods Results: Figures are often the best way to show results Conclusions….. Critiques…. What you would do differently POSITIVE Future directions………….Applications Attention grabber Compare to those we know
2a) Sample Science Talk: One variant of an Intro to Our Project Methods Some Key Results….not all Attention grabber Are the Bacteria Dangerous? Does this change your view? Discussion + Critique Put in Posters
2b) Poster sessions: Adult versions of the Science Fair
Sections for the Poster TITLE(Name; Organization) INTRODUCTION METHODS RESULTSFigures and Tables are good…. Use some we made and Make some of your own Gels, Chromatographs, Alignments etc… Goal: to show a story start to finish in a visual way CONCLUSIONS / Future Research
Making a Poster STANDARD WAY: A Giant Power Point Slide Power Point: under File Menu Choose “Page Set Up” Select Dimensions for Poster Standard Poster Sizes: Width 48 inches Height 36 inches Slides: “landscape” Or Use a Template (steal from a friend) Google “poster template” science; or use link on webpage
Often Easiest to: Put together text inWord or Regular Power Point size slides Cut and paste into the giant slide. Groups for Posters…..
End of semester poster setup and presentations Check talk beforehand Please practice with your group so everyone knows their part
