Advisors


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.)

Agenda

Thu 4th Feb

Fri 5th Feb
