Agenda

New Starters

there is a shared folder from Mary Ann (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0BwFG0nRdT4ZGVjM1REpNT0Q5YXM)
after a bit of consideration, we agreed that we don't need a shared template
a small logo on each slide is ok, but don't use up too much screen real estate
Robin Gasser can't come as advisor

a lab head mailing list was created
should we put a tracking system in place to track subscribed lab heads/PIs in the database?
- changing the Person class to add a PI tag would be possible
- needs potential additional curation together with the CGC (~4000 WBPeople who paid for strains from the CGC) - needs checking with Aric

model organism funding progress (zebrafish / mouse)
Gene Classes vs Biotypes from Sequence Ontology Terms - specificity/uniqueness/presentation
- try more specific SO-terms for genes in one of the next builds
- the idea is to use SO-terms for InterMine indexing
disease relevant human variants mapped to C.elegans was proposed as a future project
recruiting for the Datomic database position is making good progress
