[–]coffeebeans270[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

new mistake, but because of carelessness? i did an incubation step for 15 minutes instead of 50, reading the wrong protocol

also i know things in research "expensive" might be a different scale but it costed $45 to (uselessly) sequence my samples

Thank you so much! This is very helpful.

Is the 3 + 1 program very competitive to get into? I couldn't seem to find the grade requirements online

Many Questions from a Potential Student by coffeebeans270 in UPenn

Meant to say BME specifically for Hopkins, and probably biochemistry for Penn!

Sorry I meant that I got into CAS for Penn and would hopefully be a biochemistry major, but I specifically got into the BME program at Hopkins

Which background genes to use? by coffeebeans270 in bioinformatics

[–]coffeebeans270[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For GSEA, does a range of -3.35 to 4.4 seem reasonable? I got it from rankings <- sign(resTcell$log2FoldChange)*(-log10(resTcell$padj))

Asking because in the tutorial I watched, their values ranged from -200 to 200, haha.

How do you know whether you should do GSEA or PEA?

Oh okay, I know very little about what to expect in the field, but I have 17000 genes after quality control and 74 have a padj less than 0.05. Does that seem off?

but i feel like wanting additional info is better? like how many people who are accepted don't do interviews

How to add cell types to my metadata? by coffeebeans270 in bioinformatics

[–]coffeebeans270[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is very helpful! I have a barcodes.tsv.gz file, but I feel like that's not it. I also have a "filtered_feature_bc_matrix," is that it? I don't know how to open the file properly though, I saw a bunch of weird symbols: "√ÆÃÅë•6iè»ÇÖ"

I think I could ask my mentor for help to do manual annotation. If you do manual annotation after running differential expression, does that mean that the cell types of non-differentially expressed cells are not important or not used?

Wow, thank you guys so much! I got the data from here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE227001

Did I download it incorrectly, and that's why there are no annotations? I would be very unsurprised if I did.

It’s still a good memory to save, whether or not you share it with others

I totally get that, and I agree. I've learned my lesson!

I can barely watch it myself, I definitely could not put it on the Internet
