Mockups here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1JmvtWgodli7wOf-207OaODylOt99ZXwS8G0DXHBO8V4/edit?usp=sharing
Yeast gene page: https://qa.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000000364
Can use text: "Compare with other model organisms at <AGR logo>"

Change "Tissue Enrichment Analysis" to "Gene Set Enrichment Analysis" in (navigation) Tools menu #5565

To be put in place for AGR release on 20th October
- Founding member logo in the footer
- Links to AGR genes from C. elegans gene pages (not other species)
- Links to AGR diseases from disease page
- Implementation detail: link should bring up a new tab
Lincoln: need to state reason why users would want to visit AGR
- Lesson from SGS: Comparison between model organisms
Less urgent to-to items
- Add to table of external links
- Links to AGR from fly/zfish etc gene pages in WormBase?

FlyBase will start charging user fees
Mandatory but not enforced
- Leave it up to labs to decide how many users they have
Well thought-out plan, “approved” by NHGRI
- Fees are allowed to be charged to grants, donations are not
Allowed under U41, but not allowed for U24 : not an option for WB
We can use their announcement to encourage our users to contribute in non-financial ways (e.g. community curation)
