I’m writing this in the last few days of September, as the Fall 2025 quarter is starting. For the last ~1 week of September, my goals are as follows:
SIFP
- Finish transcribing all SIFP lab notebook entries into digital lab notebook 
- Finish all SIFP file transfers, including checksum generation once folders are unzipped 
- Add links to full tapestation summaries once files are available on Gannet 
- Add links to sequencing run reports to all sequencing lab notebook entries, once files are fully available on Gannet 
- Compile summary stats on all MinION sequencing runs (# bases, # reads, avg. coverage, etc.) 
- Estimate contamination (e.g., fungal) in all sequencing runs, using Kraken 
DDE
- Figure out DDE figures – what’s the big takeaway(s) of the paper, and how can we best show that in ~3 figures.
