Presentation

Grading Guide

Extra credit (10%)

If you are considering getting extra credit, you must do the following for all the remaining four presentations:
1. Write at least one questions on paper and hand it in to me before the presentation.
2. Ask one question to the speaker in class
3. Do the extra credit homework about paper 2 to 6. It contains questions that are mostly compiled from the questions asked in class.

Paper list:
 1.  "Fast Algorithms for large -scale genome Alignment and Comparison" Delcher A. L., Phillippy A., Carlton J., Salzberg S. Nucleic Acids Research 30(11) p2478-83 (2002)

2. "Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs" Altschul et al. Nucleic Acids Research, 25(17) p3389-402 (1997)

3. "Assembly of Protein Tertiary Structures from Fragments with Similar Local Sequences using Simulated Annealing and Bayesian Scoring Functions" Simons K.T., Kooperberg C., Huang E., Baker D. Journal of Molecular Biology 268 p209-25 (1997)

4. "Comparative Protein Modelling by Satisfaction of Spatial Restraints" Sali A. and Blundell T, Journal of Molecular Biology (234), 779-815 (1993)


A couple of issues that might affect your decision making.
   1. There will be a homework related to paper 1
    2. To make the weight about the same for all the papers, whoever presents paper 6 will need to expand a little bit because the method is not totally discussed in this paper. Paper 6 is shorter than others, and that is why you need to extend beyond this paper a little bit.
