i not handling any sample yet... cos havent even finished straightening out anything. but i wun be working with RNA, but DNA. more stable lah...
Your supervisor will be abl eto help you select a disease with interesting hotspots to work on. It gets more fun when you start doing the sequencing...Originally posted by starblue:now not doing any wet lab stuff yet... still in the preparation stage (cos i er *cough* keep "forgetting" to go to the lab lah, so progress is a bit de slow).
now it's mainly biocomputing stuff... trying to get sequences of human disease genes, figure out exactly which mutation is interesting. get a manageable size fragment containing that mutation and BLAST against other species of primates and see if those mutations are functionally ok in them.... then, if got (but now still dun have) got to design primers to pick out those fragments in the 27 other species of primate dna samples in the fridge so as to sequence them. then compare the bases at that mutated codon.
then, go do another disease, or another mutation in the same disease.
something like that....

Early morning, Singaporeans got owned by foreigners.
And I wonder what some people did to the MRT station to send off an alarm for SCDF.

yeah... and this time, i engaged the help of the most knowledgable, most expert senior in the lab... also got no where. T~TOriginally posted by the Bear:oh dear
can't figure it out?
i've emailed my prof and asked if there is an alternative project i can consider...Originally posted by the Bear:awww.. poor sb...
what next then?

but that made me feel bad lah... like i'm a total failure liddat, giving up and giving in to that pile of unsolvable crap.![]()
yeah, i'm very good at kicking nuts....Originally posted by the Bear:well, don't worry about it.. there are some things which are beyond us, and some things which we are very good at..
and i bet there are some things you are very good at
