For week 6 we did a flash gel. The results are at the top. I will also be helping Chad and Stacey with their project and learning about bioinformatics. The picture just above shows the genes for different species of deinococcus.

How I Think I Want to Use My Degree and Why

 This is a tough question for me, because lately I've been jumping around between career ideas.  My major is Applied Computing with a concentration in cybersecurity. I would like to work in cybersecurity, but with Applied Computing being so broad, I'll be qualified for all kinds of computing paths such as machine learning, software engineering, and (as I recently found out from a job ad) even some bioinformatics positions. I have the most interest in machine learning, bioinformatics, and cybersecurity. If I'm being honest, I don't necessarily have the have the cybersecurity concentration because I for sure want to go into cyber security. I just want to give myself more options since the cybersecurity field is extremely desperate for workers right now. If I end up with a job in cybersecurity after school, then that's great. And if not, I'm also ok with that.  A company that I would specifically like to work for one day is Microsoft, however, I couldn't say wh...

 Hello! This week I read Chapter 4 in  Data Visualization of R by Rob Kabacoff.  Last week I read Chapter 3 on univariate graphs, which plot data about a single variable. Chapter 4 is about bivariate graph, which are used to show the relationship between 2 variables. The type of graph used depends on whether the variables are categorical or quantitative. Categorical vs. Categorical Much like a univariate graph, a bivariate graph typically uses various types of bar charts to display categorical data. There are 3 different types of bar charts used, and I'll display pictures of them all. This time, I am not going to go into detail about modifications such as color, size, etc. because it is the same as for univariate graphs. The data set used displays the relationship between automobile class and drive type: 4 wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive. Stacked bar chart The stacked bar chart is the default bar chart in R, so there are no special commands to use thi...

 Hello! This week I am learning about Multivariate graphs, and Maps. Multivariate graphs Similar to bivariate graphs, multivariate graphs are used to display 3 or more variables. The two most common ways to show the relationship between variables is grouping and faceting. Grouping Grouping lets you plot data for several groups on a single graph. The values of the first two variables are mapped to the x and y axis. The other variables are mapped according to color, shape, size, and other visual characteristics. This chapter in the book uses the salaries dataset that shows the relationship between years since receiving a Ph. D and salary. There are several options you can change. For example, you can change the shape of the elements representing the sex of the professors, and different colors to show what their job title was. You can even change the size of the elements. In the picture of the graph below, the element size represents years they have been working:  You can also ad...
