I’d review last month’s goals, but I completely forgot to post them!
However, I did accomplish the two most important goals that I needed to get done last month:
Prep Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida) gDNA for genome sequencing
Prep geoduck (Panopea generosa) gDNA for genome sequencing
For this month, I’m looking at tackling the following:
Prep RAD libraries to assess viability of the process on degraded Olympia oyster gDNA
Implement lab safety changes to be in compliance
Establish an “onboarding” (that’s fancy corporate speak) guide for getting new lab members up-to-speed
Continue working on a revamped primer database that will be a single resource (currently, it’s split in two spreadsheets and is not easily manageable/searchable)
