+### Problem description 
+
+### Observations made by Rob 
+There was failure in enforcing unique sample/case/individual names when naming column datasets within and across 
+
+### Observations by Zachary 
+The phenogen track is biased towards mouse and/or rat. Does not check for species, which is an important functionality to be included. 
+
+### Harm Dataset genetype names versus the available genetype names in GeneNetwork webservice database 
+There is/was a hurdle on identifying if the genetype name used in Harm dataset are the same as the ones in GN, or at least do they point to the same genotype dataset.

 # My Software Development Journey so far,

 

-

 * The following includes a brief story reflecting my progress so far in learning software development as part of the GeneNetwork team.

 * I am currently a bioinformatics expert by profession. My sole responsibility is to use computational tools and knowledge in statistics and mathematics to answer biological questions and problems.

   This is done by analyzing a bunch of biological data generated from a set of experiments.
