iPG2P Steering Committee
August 24, 2010; 2 to 3 pm EDT

Present: Dan Kliebenstein, Ed Buckler, Greg Abram, Jeff White, Karla Gendler, Steve Goff, Steve Welch, Ruth Grene, Chris Jordan, Matt Vaughn, Tom Brutnell, Doreen Ware, Dan Stanzione

Notes/Agenda:

  • Matt Vaughn's Slides
  • VA Prototype demo
    • Over the last several months, lots of discussion and diligent analysis about what a G2P conceptual workflow would look like and how it would work
    • Has become somewhat real in the last few months,
    • Demoed prototype
    • Example of a domain specific DE (like DNA Subway) that is based on sustainable software practices
    • Brutnell: first time has seen this and thinks it is fantastic;
    • Ends up in Arabidopsis but could end up in rice as the tools do exist, which they don’t for Zea mays yet
    • when you go to iPlant API, you might have to search by species and find homologs
    • Photosynthesis models could be filtered into efp style displays
    • Could go to rice to look at gene expression networks to get candidate zea mays genes
  • Genome Services
    • TNRS might want to test with germplasms
    • Types of services and benefits we provide to sources will be dependent on how embedded we become with other organizations
    • Will probably have to create a hack to convert from NCBI/EBI
      • Instead of guessing, would be best to have a conversation/active discussion with them
      • Stanzione suggested to meet NCBI people while at PGRP
      • Ware will start email thread and try to schedule that meeting
  • Road map of specific science packages as web services
  • "Viewers" and "Data Sinks"
  • API

Next meeting time: Tuesday, September 7 at 2pm EDT
