Agenda

  1. Discuss agenda items for meeting
  2. Plan to develop proposals for main issues on agenda
  • We should be able to have the meeting at Princeton after the GOC meeting
  • Strategies for identifying orthologs: now = YOGY, inparanoid, treefam

Judy, Petra, Karen, DongHui and Kimberley

- one issue is about using consistent strategies - we'd like to call in an expert at the meeting to help us - Judy: orthology analysis: we want to have tools but we need to make sure we dont user-infer from that - Rex: it's about specificity/ - KarenC: different tools give different results; I'd like to know why and understand how those tools work -Judy: I completely agree. We need to have by the meeting a white paper about how those tools work to provide a basis for discussion -Kimberley: also noticed different results with different tools -Emily: GAO has started to transfer electronic annotations; it's hard to keep track of the orthology information with different genome versions, especially for multispecies databases -MaryD/David: we'd like to to produce a tool that would help make ISS annotations - Emily: if this is automated, it should be IEA


  1. Review annotation stats.
  2. Regular monthly phone conference. Use to review stats, open ref genome source forge items
  3. Other issues? (no other issues)
