Pre-Workshop Assignments

Confirm/Establish laptop compatibility:

Preparing your laptop:

  • Most laptops (<5 years old) updated with the latest web browser will have no problem. However, we do strongly recommend using the Firefox Browser (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/). Use of Internet Explorer will almost certainly cause problems, while Chrome has caused problems occasionally.Safari (Safari 4 or later) works well.
  •  Try to have administrative privileges on your computer (should it become necessary to install or update software during the workshop).
  •  Several workflows in the current version of DNA Subway require Java. Newer Java versions often limit some functionality in DNA Subway.
  • To test your Java installation, go to http://gfx.dnalc.org/files/apollo/test/ and follow the instructions at that site. The test is successful if a view of the Apollo annotation browser opens up that looks like this screenshot: jpg\/png\/tif\.
  • Should you experience difficulties, follow these steps:
    • Ensure that your computer is running the latest Java by going to http://java.com and click ‘Do I Have Java?’ Then click ‘Verify Java version.
    • If you are not running the latest Java, install or update it. (If you are a Mac user and experience trouble with this, contact williams@cshl.edu for additional advice).
    • Still having trouble opening Apollo? Open the Java settings (Control Panel or Systems Preferences), click Security tab. Add the following URLs to the Exception Site List:
    • If Java still does not open, enter these URLs into the Exception Site List as well. (One at a time.)
    • If none of the above worked, get Java 6 at this link:* http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp, and install it on your laptop.

Make sure you have a valid iPlant account:

Go through these readings and other assignments:

  • Review DNA Subway manual (a printed copy will be presented at the workshop)
  • Review DNA Barcoding laboratory (a printed copy will be presented at the workshop)
  • Bring a small sample of plant tissue (a leaf/flower/etc.) or collect one on campus before the experiment.
  • If you wish to bring sequence data for the DNA barcoding or genome annotation experiments feel free to do so! 
  • Check out the slides and papers listed/linked in the agenda below.

DNA Subway instructions:

 

1.       Log into DNA Subway (dnasubway.iPlantcollaborative.org)

2.       Start a blue line project

3.       Under 'Select Project Type' select the project type to be ‘rbcL’ barcoding

4.       Under ‘Select Sequence Source’ choose ‘Import Sequence from DNALC’ Your sequences have a the Tracking #: 10-322601046
