November 2007 GMOD Meeting
The meeting will take place November 5, 1:30PM to November 7, 12:00PM at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory following the Genome Informatics meeting.
Contents
Possible topics
- community annotation - FlyBase seconds this topic
- Chado standard on ortholog/paralog/synteny storage.
- The state of GFF tools in BioPerl. Some of the auditing and examples are on a Bioperl wiki page.
- GMOD releases and packaging
- How hard would it be to heap together specific releases of popular GMOD components into a named/numbered release that has gone through some level of compatibility testing?
- How much pain does a lack of such a release currently cause users?
- how much might the community annotation server help with this?
Registration
The registration page is available at http://blog.gmod.org/register.html. Please note that there is a $25 registration fee for the meeting to cover meals and other costs associated with the meeting.
