PAMGO outreach • July 14-15, 2008 (followed by Oomycete workshop) • 29 attendees • Topics included • structural annotation • functional annotation • the Gene Ontology • PAMGO • Annotation exercises • Michelle demo’ed Manatee and sequence-based annotations • we asked them to read 3 papers - 1 easy, 2 harder • after the first day we asked them to try to do GO annotation of the 3 papers • on the second day we engaged in group discussion/annotation of the 3 papers to GO • they did very well
Candace’s China Tour • “Comparative genomics of plant pathogens: How new Gene Ontology (GO) terms facilitate the study of microbe-host interactions” • Presented at 3 Chinese universities during summer 2008 • Nanjing Agricultural University • Hangzhou University • Shang Jiaotong University Followed by a “Flash and Dash” at the APS Meeting in Minnesota • “Using the universal language of Gene Ontology (GO)to annotate gene products involved in the interactions between microbes and their hosts” • Centennial meeting of the American Phytopathological Society, Minneapolis, MN, July, 2008
IGS outreach • Michelle’s 2-day workshops • you’ve heard me talk about these many times • 2008 dates: May, September, and November • They’re FREE (tell your friends and neighbors) • Educating the virulence community about GO • Trying to get the BRCs to use GO evidence codes • This resulted in desire for IGC sub-codes • BRCs are expected to send data to BRC Central with (mostly) GO codes by the end of October
