About the workshop
As more plant species are sequenced and large-scale phenotyping screens are created, we see a diversity of annotation types and descriptors being used in these experiments. Having a new genome and large data sets is an excellent way to learn about plant development and behavior; however, in doing so we also realize that many of the descriptors are very species-specific may not meet the community standards of functional characterization as they fail to employ various controlled vocabularies (ontologies) such as Gene Ontology and Plant Ontologies. In addition to that, not every plant community has sufficient personnel, computational, or monetary resources to manage the annotation of its genome. Therefore, these communities depend heavily on the high-quality annotations of the model and reference plants.
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 who will undertake the task of creating accurate and reliable data sets for plant biologists.
At the workshop a set of talks and hands on training will introduce you to genome searches, analysis, creating your won pathways and gene annotations.
