2017 Meetings

Cecilia will take over laboratory curation
Hinxton (Paul Davis) will take over nomenclature work
Hinxton will take over strain info, Mitani (NBP) alleles, sequence features (large scale)
Sequence feature curation (literature-based, small-scale) will move to Caltech
Molecule curation may be split; Hinxton could coordinate with ChEBI; GO-CAM modeling molecules handled at Caltech?
SOP? Karen wrote Wiki pages for molecule curation; she will look them over and can review with others
Metabolomics was recent big push (biggest effort needed); need to discuss with Michael Witting

AGR disease working group
- Lots going on, a lot of progress, still have much to discuss
- Next need to work out how to pull in new data objects like alleles, strains, genotypes, etc.
- Will need to establish a basic, consensus AGR data model for these data types/objects
- How is AGR disease data display compared to WB/MODs? WB is generally (as are other MODs) ahead of AGR
Site-visit
- PIs go to D.C. to discuss AGR
Wen working on lab meeting presentations; will present AGR progress, give tutorial
Raymond working on methods paper for SObA display
Raymond will start working on neural functional units with phenotype

Really need to encourage authors to submit tables with specific sequence feature info
Need to make the data submission process easy, user-friendly
Karen looking into it
Work study jobs for students to curate? May not be preferred job for students
Temp jobs may be the way to go; but learning curve needs to be very short
