Project meeting
Scheduling
- All-hands project meeting, or smaller discussion groups?
- Before the SAB meeting or after?
- A pre-meeting would allow us to refine the agenda of the SAB (although perhaps too late for that)
- A post-meeting would allow us to set some goals based on comments/advise from the advisors
- Hinxton folks have more time after the meeting
Discussion topics
- Curation, organisation, display and querying of RNASeq data (FlyBase have moved ahead of us here)
- Database migration
- Deconvolution of parasitic data (could discuss cross-referencing/linking between WB and WBPS for core species, cross-searching over the two resources, etc.)
