iPG2P Data Integration

October 22, 2009, 4pm EDT

Attendees: Doreen Ware, Damian Gessler, Jerry Lu, Pankaj Jaiswl, Doina Caragea, Qi Sun, Ruth Grene, Eva Huala, Chris Jordan, Jim Jones, Steve Welch, Lukas Mueller, Karla Gendler

Action Items:

Eva, Lukas, Pankaj, Qi Sun: What are standards of exchange for genome sequence? for metadata? What are file formats?

Agenda/Notes:

Introduction of participants
Introduce Confluence as collaboration environment
iPlant suppport staff (support@iplantcollaborative.org) to deal with problems
iPG2P Working Group review
1. WorkingGroups.ppt
Preliminary review of NGS needs based on workflow
1. InitialTasks.ppt
2. Is it possible to produce a single output that can be used by all groups? Other groups will need to define what is needed in the format though.
  1. Qi Sun: Probably won't have single file format as each group will provide own format but we need to focus on cross-repository search and also how do we integrate across species and working on different platforms?
  2. Chris Jordan: is it possible to archive all the data in one format but then transform into each format type that is needed? Looking for ways to minimize number of formats internally.
  3. Jim Jones: what is the scope of this project? Is the main scope aimed at G2P effort and what are the sources of data (DNA, RNA, phenotype information)?
    1. Main scope is aimed at G2P effort
    2. Will international reserach centers be a contact for data sources?
  4. Welch: modeling group has begun to identify what metadata is necessary for formats
Identification of Action Items
1. All: look at NGS Workflow
  1. reference genome seuqence and annotations (TAIR, Solanceae group): going to end up being a resource that links to you and links back; needs to link to model organism database
  2. What are standards of exchange for genome seq?
  3. What are standards of exchange for metadata?
  4. How do we want to get attributes from model organism databases and how to feed it back?
2. Eva and Lukas being targeted initially
  1. review existing repositories and formats that exist
  2. for Lukas, very viable option as they have a lot of genoytping and pheontyping info
3. Eva, Lukas, Pankaj, Qi Sun
  1. How to go between sequence information and pheontype information
4. First push is to align to reference genomes so need to ID people who work with reference genomes
  1. What are the file formats and data exchange standards?
5. What about phenotype info w/o reference genome?
Set date for next meeting
