    • Prof Shoumo Bhattacharya shoumo@me.com
    • Prof Paul Riley p.riley@ich.ucl.ac.uk
    • Dr Ross A Breckenridge r.breckenridge@ucl.ac.uk (available on Thursday, probably not able to attend on Friday)
    • Prof Andrew Tinker rmhaant@ucl.ac.uk Varsha has discussed the ontology with him before

    • Adrian Wolff (Kidney development ontology)

Minutes GOC Satellite meeting 5:30 - 6:30 Thursday 19th May 2011 LA

  • David, Ruth, Doug, Tanya, Becky, Paola, Stan
  • Currently only 2 GO terms in this ontology:
    • Cardiac conduction
    • Atrioventricular node impulse conduction delay
  • Missing links/terms
    • regulation of cardiac muscle contraction
    • regulation of heart rate
    • strength of heart contraction
    • blood pressure
    • sensing
    • systemic signaling
    • hormone signaling (note forth coming development of this domain)
    • action potential
    • long synaptic potential
    • synaptic plasticity
    • regulation of membrane potential
  • Ontology for development of the cardiac conduction system pretty much sorted, maybe a few additional cell types to add, but this shouldn't be the scope of this workshop.
  • Workshop for ontology for neurological terms on 7th September 2011
    • Ideally Paola to attend this meeting (note Paolo has a neurological background)

Action items

  • All:
    • Work towards identifying scope of workshop, set by mid July
    • Set up table for annotation guide - what genes to annotate to these new GO terms, perhaps capture experimental information here. Eg how to interpret changes in P or QRS intervals associated with specific genes.
    • Add figures to wiki to illustrate cardiac conduction processes
    • Add useful reviews/papers to wiki
  • Ruth:
    • Contact experts above (max 5 experts)
    • Book rooms
    • Ask experts to review blood pressure ontology
    • Ask Varsha for her draft ontology
  • Doug:
    • Look at differences and similarities between zebrafish and mammalian cardiac conduction processes
  • David and Tanya
    • Set up overview of ontology
  • Stan
    • Review hormone literature/ontology
  • Paolo
    • Pacemaker
  • Susan
    • Look at differences and similarities between Drosophila and mammalian cardiac conduction processes
  • Becky
    • Look at key signaling pathways that regulate heart rate & cardiac conduction.
