Group presentation overview

For research/data presentations some things you could describe:

Brief background of the research

Description of the data being collected in the study

  • Sample size, replicate structure (biological, technical etc.)
  • Distribution of data, if possible to estimate
  • Potential sources of unwanted/confounding variation

Hypothesis being tested in the study

Statistical tests/models used for data analyses

  • If using a bioinformatics tool, describe as best you can what test is used by the tool
    (e.g. DESeq2 uses a GLM)

Results/interpretation of data analyses

  • Effect sizes/feature importance
  • Significance of effects
  • Visualization of results and error

Consider throughout the presentation concepts from class
For example:

  • Power
  • Multiple test correction
  • One/two-sided tests
  • Assumptions of tests
  • Covariates
  • Biological v technical replicates
  • Effect size v significance
  • Appropriate tests/models
  • Outliers or other interesting aspects of your data
