Agenda and Minutes

Caltech:

Transgene >20% do we need a couple of sentences?
Stavos building WS 281. Let him know what you'd like mentioned on the channel.
Daniela says there's a lot more transgenes because constructs are becoming transgenic objects to align with Alliance.
Magda: is there anything you'd like to showcase ? Daniela: not really, just data alignment, probably not interesting to users.

Hinxton:

Expanded collection of C. elegans comparator genomes by adding a chromosome-scale draft C. bovis assembly {PMID:32109387}, and nine further draft assemblies of newly described Caenorhabditis species {PMID:1007946}
Replaced two C. remanei strains (PX356 and PX439) with animproved chromosome-scale assembly of C. remanei PX506 {PMID:32111628}.
Ranjana: could do blog post about new species.
Stavros will post on #general in slack.
Paul D: We'll put something together when WS281 hits.
