	The Group Project
	Background Data Potential Investigations Goals Submission Form
	Background This is an opportunity for you to explore (in depth) a project of interest to your working group. Your project will be presented Friday afternoon to the whole group via powerpoint. It should include some background information, a discussion of the questions you are looking at, the techniques you have chosen to use, your results, and your conclusions.
	Data Varies
	Tools Biology Workbench (http://workbench.sdsc.edu) GeneDoc (locally installed) SwissPDB Viewer (locally installed) NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) for sequences and PUBMED SwiisProt (http://www.expasy.ch) If network access is interrupted, please use the locally installed versions of Phylip and ClustalX in place of Biology Workbench
	Potential Investigations Any investigation from a previous lab (HIV, One Cell or Transferrin) A project of interest to your working group Projects from Jim: What are the complete CDNA sequences for beta-glycosidases in rice? How are these families related to each other and to others in the database? What are the expression patterns of these genes? Are the expression patterns for any other pair of genes similar
	Goals Identify definable questions that can be approached using phylogenetics Find the data & use the tools provided to explore these questions Share your experiments and insights with the group Evaluate the effectiveness of this exercise
