Agenda

Notes

Attendees: Cecile Ane, Nicole Hopkins, Andrew Lenards, Michael Gonzales, Adam Kubach, Sheldon McKay, Todd Vision, Jerry Lu, Natalie Henriques.

  • Reviewed action items. Sheldon and Andrew have been working through the items.
  • There will be no call on January 18, 2010 in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
  • We will move to bi-weekly meetings starting on January 25, 2010. The weekly call will be kept on the calendar for those who would need to have individual meetings in between the calls. The level of communication between scheduled meetings needs to be increased.
  • Revisited TR Timelines and Goals:

Jan 1-15

1. Sheldon: Work on back-end data, alignment service (if need be) treebest gene tree construction
2. Andy: Assemble first data sets for prototype, gather more requirement from WG

Jan 16-31

1. Sheldon: Work on tree reconciliation and reconciled tree view; queries
2. Andy: queries; Rough out UI; general tree viewing

Feb 1-28

1. Sheldon, Andy - iterate with WG, refine design, integrate XXX canned data sets.

  • Selection of data sets for the released prototype will be guided by the working group
  • Selection of testing data for early development will be more pragmatic
  • Sheldon discussed progress w/ TreeBeST example and that another tool may need to be used to take outputs from TreeBeST and perform the 'reconcile' operation (which would produce a reconciled tree w/ duplications and loss event identified on the tree). There is still uncertainty on whether TreeBeST can perform this operation. Sheldon has confirmed the creation of gene trees using alignments and a species trees as input. For more details, reference to example.
  • Discussion and questions regarding the High-level Workflow example presented by Todd Vision to the group. (this example will be broken down in discussion soon, link should appear here once that is done)
