Thank you for your hard work, patience while waiting for PCRs, and questions yesterday! You all amplified our target reference gene segments (16S, ITS) and are moving along the library prep. Next week we will work on purifying the library and doing a second PCR round to barcode.
Several keen participants noted that the video and slides for Module 1 mention class notes. That is my fault… the goal of class notes is to have a shared resource you can all contribute to. However, this semester class notes optional and not part of the grade.
We still encourage you to share resources in the Class Notes document and learn from the previous two cohorts of BIT 477/577.
Tomorrow during our synchronous session, we will do a brief overview of Unit 1 and then save time/space for discussions. Zoom information is pasted below.
