Computational Genomics: Applied Comparative Genomics

Project Presentations

Presentations will be a total of 15 minutes: 12 minutes for the presentation, followed by 3 minutes for questions. We will strictly keep to the schedule to ensure that all groups can present in class!

I strongly discourage you from trying to give a live demo as they are too unpredictable for a short talk. If you have running software you want to show, use a “cooking show” approach, where you have screen shots of the important steps.
