As previously decided, the group met this afternoon to discuss the strategy and try to have a better idea of what it is we are trying to achieve. Unfortunately, I was called in for another project course meeting at KI very suddenly and it went longer than expected and therefore I came very late. Fortunately, one member was still there and we briefly went through the meeting notes (all documentation except for the individual diary use Google Suite). The following things were decided:

• Working title: Investigation of Difference in Transcription Data of Liver Biopsies from Normal, Steatosis, NASH and HCC patient
• Aim: Understanding transcriptional changes in HCC progression
• Timeline:
  • Week1/v48: Data clean up, associating transcripts with the genes from Ensembl GTF data,
  • Week2/v49: Conduct differential expression analysis,
  • Week3/v50: Compare results with literature, HPA and co-expression network, and
  • Week4/v1-2: Summarising results and finalise poster.

We intend to meet again after the first seminar session for a quick discussion regarding data cleaning, replicate identification, and gene ID association.
