Help Desk

- GitHub ticket 6775 - Raymond will respond
- Todd needs to add Cecilia's caltech email address to the mailing list
Workshop
- Ranjana will take lead
- Want to cover tools, SimpleMine, WormMine, BioMart
- Superficial coverage and/or specific use cases? Let users ask specific questions?
- Can run help desk at poster sessions? Bring projector or monitor and laptop? Quite noisy
- Probably no separate rooms, could we setup a section in the seats? May be difficult to get power, traffic
- Setup a screen on the score board? ;p
- Run two workshops? One for overview, another for feedback? Last time, we did same content twice
New microarray
- Wen will contact Hinxton
Alliance all hands meeting
- Fate of current and future working groups
- Literature and text mining
- Kimberly and Michael can talk to RGD folks about text mining etc.
- Grant goes in in January - would be good to have 1 page plan for each topic (including text mining)
- Triage discussion should include MGD/MGI
- Expression working group
- Starting to talk about RNA-Seq data
- Group mentioned starting with only wild type RNA-Seq data
- Wen surprised that mutant RNA-seq would not be included; Wen will join expression working group call to discuss
