BioSc 1540 Course Project



Extra Credit
Additional points will be awarded to your project grade if you discover during the course of your project that either:

  1. A residue error is likely to exist in an individual sequence taken from a sequence data library. For example, an extra residue in a nucleic acid sequence would generate an incorrect protein sequence. (However, no credit will be given to residue problems discovered in error-prone EST sequences.)
  2. An annotation error is likely in an individual sequence taken from a sequence data library. For example, a data library's feature table might incorrectly identify a sequence as containing a Leucine Rich Repeat Motif rather than a Leucine Zipper Motif.
  3. A significant, unreported and uncorrected error is discovered in a literature citation relevant to your project.
To receive credit for a suspected error, please notify Dr. Polinko as soon as possible. For credit you will be required to make a good-faith attempt to report any suspected sequence database error to the sequence author(s).
