Open Project
What interests you about Computational Systems Biology? How can you contribute to the field? Would you like to write a tutorial for using a service, database or program you find important? How about implementing a useful task in a Perl or PHP script, or a simulation of (part of) a metabolic pathway? Are there interesting databases or services we did not cover? Or maybe you would be curious about a particular workflow - is it possible? How can it be done? Can you implement it in "R"? Or how about a bunch of Wikipedia articles?
In this Open Project, I invite you to think like a computational systems biologist, acquire some knowledge or viewpoint about the field and share it with your peers.
- The topic is open but I will provide feedback on the suitability of the topic, if asked. I advise against running off with the first thing that comes to your mind - discuss your ideas among yourselves, or with me. However, try not to ask me what to do because you can't come up with anything. If I get the impression that there was nothing that interested you in the whole, wild, wide world of systems biology, that will make me depressed.
- The first stage of the project is your concept or vision. In a brief paragraph, describe your premise, method, expected outcome and utility.
- The second stage of the project is your outline or project plan. Describe the steps of your project in detail, list the required resources and tools, clearly define your deliverables.
- The third stage is the project itself. Its main deliverable would typically be something in electronic form; I strongly encourage attaching a Creative Commons license to your work. Then we could make it available for others.
- Marking will consider:
- Quality, usefulness, creativity and originality of the contribution;
- Execution and form;
- Timely submission.
- Time management is up to you. However there are three stages of the project and three deadlines.
The concept / vision is due by the end of week 3.
The outline / project plan is due by the end of week 5.
The final submission is due by the end of week 10.
Please get your deliverables done early, I will be quite resistant to grant extensions for reasons that have to do with your normal, expected workload.
