This is third video in our series on analyzing the DNA sequences that came from bacteria on the JHU campus.
In this video, we use a pivot table to count all the different types of bacteria that students found in 2004 and we make a pie graph to visualize the different numbers of each genus.
The parts of this series are:
I. Downloading the data from iFinch and preparing it for analysis. (this is the video below) (We split the data from one column into three).
III. Counting all the bacteria
IV. Counting the bacteria by biome
Part III. Pivot tables from Sandra Porter on Vimeo.

Do different kinds of biomes (forest vs. creek) support different kinds of bacteria?
Or do we find the same amounts of each genus wherever we look?
Those are the questions that we'll answer in this last video. We're going to use pivot tables and count all the genera that live in each biome. Then…
What do you do after you've used DNA sequencing to identify the bacteria, viruses, or other organisms in the environment?
What's the next step?
This four part video series covers those next steps. In this part, we learn that a surprisingly large portion of bioinformatics, or any type of…
For the past few years, I've been collaborating with a friend, Dr. Rebecca Pearlman, who teaches introductory biology at the Johns Hopkins University. Her students isolate bacteria from different environments on campus, use PCR to amplify the 16S ribosomal RNA genes, send the samples to the JHU…
Three (or more) operating systems times three (or more) versions of software with bugs unique to one or systems (that I don't have) means too many systems for me to manage teaching.
Thank the FSM they're not using Linux, too. (Let me see that would be Ubuntu Linux, RedHat Linux, Debian Linux,…
