Example Project Arabidopsis Bra1/ Sample Bra1 A/ Sample Bra1 B/ raw_illumina_reads/remapping to reference/ denovo assembly/SNP calls/annotation/ reference_genome/ Comparison/ Bra1A vs Bra1B/ SNPsPFAM domains

Summary files In each Project directory create a file explaining what the project aims are and details of the sequencing run In each Sample directory create a text file explaining what the sample is
