Project
After the success of the Human Genome Project, J. Craig Venter launched the Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) Expedition to collect microbes and analyze their DNA sequences. Along with the microbial data, researchers also collected various metadata (location, depth, microbe size, temperature, salinity, pH, DO). This project will create a 3D visulazation of this metadata through the use of visualization technology. The display can then be used by researchers as a visually immersive way to look for particularly interesting data sites or relations between sites, with the ultimate goal of finding microbes with DNA that produce useful proteins.

Met with Paul Gilna to discuss ideas for and focus of the project
Began reading up on C++ programming language
Week 2
Continued reading about C++ programming language
Attended "How to Conduct Research" by Prof. Trey Ideker as a part of the Calit2 Scholars Colloquia Program
Began working on CAMERAVis plug-in for OpenCOVER
