Organisation of SAB talks
Agenda for the SAB itself will be organised into 4 main sections. Each section will have a short overview/scene-setting talk, followed by selected specfic talks. Each section will end with a time-tabled open discussion, which we should use to discuss strategy in that area, and put any specfic questions we have to the advisory board. Please add suggested questions/discussion topics for each section below.
- Curation
- How can we work with other MODs on curation strategy?
- User interface
- How best to measure the utility of WormBase (and similar resources)?
- What new tools / views should we have (e.g. enrichment tool, RNASeq querying)
- Parasitic worms
- Balancing (curation) effort into parasitic worms vs. C. elegans
- Integration between WormBase and WB ParaSite - to what extent is this required?
- Infrastructure and interoperability
Other potential talks (if we want/need to fill time)
- Genome annotation curation - status and plans - Paul Davis
- Documentation and outreach strategy - Todd
- Integration and curation of the new B. malayi genome assembly v4 - Michael
Specific topics for project meeting / working groups
- Cross-site communication
- Unification of documentation and code; what are our standards for documentation? For code?
- Database migration
- Specific plans for the next 6-12 months
- WormBase + WBParaSite integration
- Textpresso
- extending use to non-Caenorhabiditis sp
- Enrichment tool
- how to implement for both WormBase central and ParaSite
