Reports

There will be two reports:

• The first one about the wet part, i.e. the five day experiments of the workshop
• The second one about the in silico analysis of the sequencing

Writing instructions (applies to both reports)

• Write with your own words.
• Copy-paste (from websites, existing publications, …) is prohibited (plagiarism).
• Cite your sources when needed
• Avoid sprawling sentences. Instead, adopt concise / efficient / precise / scientific writing (as done in publications).

Additional instructions

• one report per two-person team
• English.
• A4 page (21 x 29.7 cm)
• Font for the main text: Arial, 11pt, single-space
• Margin: 2.5cm (1 inch) on left/right/top/bottom
• Figures in the main text. With Legend, axis, units, etc…
• Electronic version (not printed). PDF. Deposited on eCampus.

Second report

The report is due for Friday, November 21nd, 23:59

Grade

This report accounts for 40% of your grade for the teaching unit

Type of in-silco analyses expected in this report

• Some informative numbers regarding the sequencing run
• One or several bedgraphs
• Intersections between the ChIP-data generated during the practical and something else (other ChIP data; genomic feature; …)

Importantly: the analyses done and shown must be used to convey a biological/technical message. They aim at answering the biological/technical question raised in the introduction. Every pair of students can tackle its own biological/technical question.

Outline

Below is an outline of what is expected for the report: 1 cover page + 3 pages of text + 3 pages with Figures.

The figures shown here are just to illustrate the outline and not necessarily what we expect.
The space devoted to each section can also vary.
