Content Guidelines
Two primary sections -- one on design and one on results -- will make up the memo.
Design
Here you should include the following:
- A short (likely two paragraph) introduction motivating your design challenge and explaining your design choices.
- A table comparing the properties of the V1-PMP2 primer set and your primer set.
The text related to your specific design choices should explicitly refer to the table.
Results
Here you should include the following:
- A short (likely two paragraph) description of your findings and proposal for future workor *no* discussion type part?.
- A figure depicting your raw PCR results (as seen on a gel).
- Optionally, a figure or table depicting the PCR results in some processed form.
The figure should include a complete caption as for a publication.
