# Introduction to the module | ||
|
||
In this module you will learn how to analyse bacteriophage sequences with computational approaches. The theoretical part will be covered in the mornings and include a series of questions. Document the questions and answers in a lab book. These will also be considered in your final evaluation. The evaluation will be composed of: | ||
|
||
- Performance in the dry lab, lab journal (60%) | ||
- Presentation of the final project (40%) | ||
|
||
To write a good lab book be attentive to: | ||
|
||
- Write in the lab book every day, documenting your tasks; | ||
- Structure it in cronological order, so that each section corresponds to a different day. | ||
|
||
To keep up with a good organization, in your practical experiments, use a logical order for naming your folders. For instance: 0_download, 1_quality_evaluation, 2_assembly. Always name them in your lab book, so that you can find your files while reading the lab book in the future. | ||
|
||
# Lab Book | ||
|
||
Documenting your work is crucial in Computational Biology/Bioinformatics. This way you can make sure your work is reproducible, | ||
you can transfer text to other documents, such as reports or papers and you can send it to collegues, so that they can access your work. | ||
|
||
You are required to write a Lab Book in markdown for this module, which will count as part of your evaluation. If you want, you can start a GITHub repository for the course and write your lab book there. References: | ||

|
||
You should divide the lab book into sections (days) and add subsections for different tasks. | ||
Each subsection should have a meaningful title, e. g. "Documenting module *Viromics-Bioinformatics*", "Downloading phage sequences", "Evaluating sequence quality". Any relevant information should be included, such as websites used in searches, folders | ||
where you can find files, tool names and versions and bibliographic references. An example can be seen in the link: | ||
https://github.com/waltercostamb/course_viral-microbiology/blob/main/tutorials/lab-book.pdf. Start your lab book today and write on it | ||
whenever necessary during the module. In the last day, send a copy to your advisor. | ||
|
||
The paper "Ten Simple Rules for a Computational Biologist’s Laboratory Notebook", by Santiago Schnell of 2015 offers interesting insights: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004385 Most relevant are rules 4, 6 and 10. Keeping a hard copy of your lab book is not necessary, however make sure you have it backed up. | ||
