Jennifer Deegan attended the Cambridge Clinical Neuroscience and Mental Health Symposium, 29th - 30th September 2009, taking a poster about analysis of high-throughput experiments using GO. The work presented at the meeting was very predominantly imaging rather than genomics. However she did find two people using ontologies for analysis. One was using GO at the Sanger Centre (UK) and said he was completely happy with it, though he did not know the details of all of the biological domains well enough to spot any problems in the graph. The other researcher was using Ingenuity and said she was also very happy with that system.

September 15-17, IGS Genomics Workshop included a 2-hour lecture on the GO and hands-on manual annotation exercises that included GO annotation. The workshop was attended by 15 people and held on the IGS University of Maryland Campus. One more workshop is planned for 2009 in November. Additional workshops will be held in 2010.
