Work at Zacharewski Laboratory
During my first co-op term in the Zacharewski lab, my work
involved both the development of in silico application and wet
lab experiments under the guidance of Lyle Burgoon.
In Silico Projects The Real-Time PCR Interface is an application
which allows the user to input and query primers, cDNA samples
(from RNA reverse transcription), Real-Time PCR plate information,
Real-Time PCR SDS files, and Real-Time PCR expression data. This
application is divided into three components: Primers, BioSample
cDNA, and Real-Time PCR Experiments. Data for each of these components
can be inserted and queried using the application via the user
interface (for a single record/query), an input file, or in a
batch submission (a directory of input files).
The Real-Time PCR Experiments component allows the users to
separately input the Real-Time PCR plate information, Real-Time
PCR SDS files, and Real-Time PCR expression data. The separate
insertion of the data allows members of the lab to insert Real-Time
PCR plate information, experiment results, and analyze of the
data at separate times. The query functionality of the Real-Time
PCR Experiment component gives the user the ability to search
for the results for a specific plate, gene, bioSample cDNA,
SDS file, and much more.
Wet Lab Projects
My wet lab projects involve sequence verifying clones on our
human microarray to assess gene identity and function, as well
as creating 96 well plates for Real-Time PCR experiments.
