About the workshop
more and more plant species are getting sequenced and large-scale phenotyping screens are being setup, we see a diversity of annotation types and descriptors being used for these experiments. Having a new genome and large data sets are an excellent way forward to find novel ways to learn about plant development and behavior. However, in doing so we also realize that many of the descriptors are either very species specific may not meet the community standards of functional characterization by use of various controlled vocabularies (ontologies) such as Gene Ontology and Plant Ontologies. In addition to that not, every plant community has sufficient personnel, computational and monetary resources to manage the annotation of its genome. Therefore, these communities depend heavily on the high-quality annotations of the of model and reference plants.
Therefore, to create gold-standard data sets that can be used in annotations, we want to train the current and future plant biologists with emphasis on young investigators, students, postdocs and especially those representing the minority and underrepresented institutions to help us foster good practices and build a community of curators that will undertake the task of creating a gold-standard data set for plant biologists.
