Upcoming meetings and Presentations 2012-2013:
Phenotype RCN meeting, Oct 26-29th 2012
Asilomar, CA
LC is going and has been working with LM to compile EQ statemnts to describe ~100 rice mutants. These are going to be compiled with similar statements from maize, Arabidopsis, Soybean, SGN- tomato, and Medicago.
The project (headed by EH) be combining the mutants with similar E and Q and looking at the genes and if they are othologs.
PAG 2013, San Diego, CA; January 12th - 16th, 2013
- Date and Time: Saturday, January 12, 2013: 08:00 AM - 10:10 AM, Royal Palm Salon 5-6
We will be running a workshop focusing on:
Applications of Ontologies for Plant and Animal Genomics
Three speakers so far: Eva, Reinhard Simon and Elizabeth Arnaud.
- PJ present the Ref Plant Ontology Vision?
- Would like to invite someone from Textpresso and AgriGO
from 9/4- PJ: Suggestions- someone from GO in Berkeley, e.g. Nigam Shaw
- Can we offer something to entice the speakers, in addition to the $100 discount on registration offered by the conference?
- Need to submit list of speakers by November 1, 2012.
from 9/4- PJ will check with DW about Gramene involvement
Deadline for computer demo- Nov 1st
I would imagine a SIA demo would be appropriate. - JP
Biocuration 2013 conference, Cambridge, 7-10th April 2013
submission deadline for papers and abstracts for posters is 30th November. Papers will be published by DATABASE.
possible venue for CROP white paper?
PRO-PO-GO meeting, ~May 2013
Location: Buffalo, NY Dates TBD: Will probably be a Wednesday and Thursday around the 2nd or 3rd week of May. Should avoid Memorial Day Weekend (May 24-27th).
Goals:
- To educate members of the PRO, PO and GO communities concerning developments in each of the three ontologies, with a view to enhanced coordination
- To identify potentially fruitful applications which such enhanced coordination might bring
- To enhance the Protein Ontology treatment of plant-related proteins
- To address coordination issues between the GO and PO, for example as concerns treatment of development stages
- To further those aspects of CROP which relate to PRO and GO [this is assuming that PRO is included as one of the external ontologies in CROP]
Tentative participant list:
PO Consortium members: Pankaj Jaiswal and Laurel Cooper (OSU), Dennis Stevenson (NYBG), Barry Smith (Buffalo), others?
GO Consortium members: Jane Lomax (EBI), Judith Blake (JAX), Alex Diehl (Buffalo) who else?
PRO Consortium members: Cathy Wu, Alan Ruttenberg (Buffalo)
