BIOL368/F14:Isabel Gonzaga Week 5: Difference between revisions

Both of my hypotheses were correct, in that AIDS Diagnosed had higher diversity while the No Trend group had less diversity, even decreasing over time. Despite these changes in diversity, the relationship between the Diagnosed and Non Trending groups stayed relatively the same over time, with high minimum base pair differences (29-30) and high maximum differences (51-53). The Progressing group grew the most in terms of gaining diversity over time. As determined by the CD4 T Cell Counts in these groups in the  [http://bioquest.org/bedrock/problem_spaces/hiv/HIV_data_table_README.pdf BEDROCK HIV Sequence Data Table], this may be due to them approaching AIDS diagnosis at the end of the study. This notion is also supported by their increased similarity to AIDS Diagnosed strains at the end of the study (Table 5).<br>

However, it is important to note that the findings of this study are based off observations of statistical analyses. The trends discussed may not be distinct enough to produce a significant value in other statistical tests. Further analysis and calculations must be done to draw conclusions on the validity of these trends. <br><Br>
