Agenda Details, Discusstions and Topics

High Level Topics Identified for Discussion

  • Strategies to identify orthologs
  • How to prioritize disease genes
  • How to assess the progress made towards curation of reference genome genes; strategies for improvement
  • Discussions regarding metrics, including making a plan for how to use metrics
  • Review of progress toward database and tool development
  • Annotation consistency discussion
  • Outreach

Tentative Schedule

Morning of the 26th

  * orthology
  * GRIN (Genome Research Informatics Network) conference call tentatively 11 am

Moderator: Kara Dolinski

Resources:

  1. The Reference Genome groups have provided descriptions of their current methodology for establishing orthologs for their gene sets. These are available on the Orthology discussion page.

Discussion points:

  1. Is it necessary for all groups to use the same methodology in order to create orthology/homology data sets for the reference genome project?
  2. How stringent and consistent do we want the language of 'orthology' and 'homology' to be incorporated into our documentation and discussion?
  3. How will we update our orthology sets with new genome builds or do we consider the current genomes in the reference genome project to be essentially complete?
  4. What is the impact of closely-related paralogs that have different functions on this project?
