Agenda
Montreal GOC Meeting Action Items and priorities
Reminder: SAB recommendations - high level priorities
- Major uses of GO
- mRNA expression analysis
- Proteomics data analysis
- Genetic data analysis
- DNA methylation analysis
- Other: (~50%) primarily comp biol and biomed informatics
- Keep doing: ontology + annotations = model of biology, broad accessibility to all
- And get even better: more expressive annotations, more QA and review, more collaboration, more APIs and better response times
SAB recommendations:
- increase focus on QA
- Leverage authors of curated papers (~150K papers have been used, link from PubMed to GO for annotated papers) ----review (and curate new)
- Review of older annotations, highly annotated genes
- Develop GO-CAM use cases, promote in tool developer community
- Empower developer community (push use of recent GO annotations/ontology in tools, developer guide, website guide, APIs, build an R package to update GO annotations)
Public presence/Website
- Deploy new website: see new design here: https://geneontology.github.io/
- PURLs for the ontology need to point to 'current' rather than 'snapshot' https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/issues/873
