Hi,I am second year student doing PhD in Bioinformatics. I had been working on many projects ,mostly involved in tool development and web server/database related applications. Some works involved both analysis and development. Now i wonder what kind of structure does the thesis should be based on? I see many examples on web are based on single project topic often. Till now all the works i have done has been in the microbiome domain,so should the thesis in general be single topic or can be combinations of all the projects that i have done ? As they are the research works that i have done during the study period.
While you will probably get many valuable comments here, eventually the only truly relevant answer to this is the one from your professor who eventually will decide whether he/she accepts your thesis or not, therefore I strongly recommend to simply talk to them, better sooner than later because if there are any problems you should sort them out early rather than a few weeks before the planned submission.
