Reference Genome Annotation Meeting
General Info
The first Reference Genome annotation Meeting will be held (tentatively) September 26-27, 2007 in Princeton, NJ, right after the GO consortium and GO advisors meeting.
Agenda
Strategies to identify orthologs
- Procedures different databases are using can be found on the Orthology discussion page
- Standardize procedure for identification across MODs
- Which model organisms are available in which databases, e.g. Dicty is not in Treefam; zebra fish & chicken are not in YOGY
How to prioritize disease genes
How to assess the progress made towards curation of reference genome genes; strategies for improvement
Review of progress toward database and tool development
- Chris, Sohel and Mary are developing a web-based tool that will replace the currant Google spreadsheet
- Demonstration of the tool (link to a page with the tool coming soon)
- Curator input for further development
Discussions regarding metrics, including making a plan for how to use metrics
- Integrating both functional and structural information into the metrics we develop. How are we going to integrate sequence into this pipeline?
- Each reference genome must provide its sequence as GFF3 file [Karen Eilbeck]
