CSC 483: Homework 7, Due Feb 24, 2026, at 1 pm

1. Project Draft (5 pts + 5pts in PR)

  1. In a new Colab notebook, using your previous Colab notebook as an outline/guide, conduct your analyses. Come to class ready for peer review. This will not be the final draft you are graded on, but it will be a chance for feedback from your peers and me before you submit the draft that will be graded.

    • reference the project rubric as you go - this is a very flexible assignment
    • remember to cite any references
    • also think about which highlights of your results you will use for your presentation
    • if you are feeling stuck, utilize my office hours, the librarian consultation services (https://www.union.edu/schaffer-library/ask-a-librarian), and/or each other! Just include visits/conversations in your refernces.

  2. End by writing out questions you were unable to answer. This doesn’t need to be a full reflection, but might help you pivot your project.

Decision points

  1. use smaller rnaseq datasets ( filtered 6k x 16k) OR use gene P/A
  2. reduce dim of genes OR dim of samples (transpose or not to transpose)
  3. connect to metadata of samples OR of genes
  • red by genes means plotting samples and vv
  • merge rnaseq with sample metadata, use SRX numbers
  • merge gene p/a with annotation, use first_name_comp
  • merge rnaseq with gene annotation use first_name_comp
  1. Choose a color scheme
  2. Does DR technique separate out groups, as seen by color?
