The GMOD hackathon will take place January 10-11, 2018 (a few days before PAG, but not on January 12 so as not to overlap with the Tripal user meeting). It will take place at the Town and Country Hotel in the Brittany room. The Brittany room is in the eastern edge of the property in the north/south center, off of the Regency Courtyard). We expect that topics will include JBrowse (server-side stuff and plugins), Galaxy connectivity and plugins, and Tripal plugins (this hackathon overlaps the Tripal hackathon and user meeting that runs January 11-12).

Registration is $50 which covers part of the fee for the room (where the rest is made up from the kind JBrowse folks) and lunch on the first day. Please use the Eventbrite page to register and pay.

Suggested Topics

  1. Improving the Python library for interacting with the Apollo API
    1. Poke Eric R about attending.
  2. Adding an “Instructor” role to facilitate the usage of Apollo in an educational setting [1]
    1. A list of what permissions the instructor role would have would be very useful. Siloed by organism?
  3. Incorporating additional metadata to an organism in Apollo to facilitate integration with Galaxy Histories.
    1. For example,...?
  4. CRAM support for JBrowse and CRAI indexes and extend to Apollo.
    1. Might not be hard, but we don't know
  5. Customize BAM tracks in Apollo
    1. per Chris Elsik: better filtering (spliced reads on top, sort by score or other attributes, filter unspiced reads)
  6. Updating table descriptions to generalize mage to include next-gen sequencing experiments and other possible analyses instead of microarray only
    1. Make issue in Chado add a link for 1.4 outline
  7. Adding a cvalue_id field to the biomaterialprop table, as is done for the natural diversity module. This allows the property values to also utilize a cvterm.
    1. Make an issue in Chado
  8. Adding track-level permissions to JBrowse tracks in Apollo and JBrowse directly.
  9. Plugin in JBrowse that emulates going to the next isoform in the UcA, but in the evidence (JBrowse) area.
  10. Make more filterable, add sortable BAM tracks.
