This discussion led us to form the AgBioData GFF3 working group. Our goals are to 1) identify common problems with the GFF3 format; 2) recommend solutions for these problems; and 3) promote community adoption of these recommendations, so that data can be formatted in standard ways across databases. Members of AgBioData, the Alliance of Genome Resources, and NCBI have been working on these goals for the past year. We are now ready to receive feedback from the AgBioData community on our recommendations, in order to get traction on the final goal – community adoption of these solutions. In this webinar, we will give an overview of our recommendations and will open up the floor for a stimulating discussion. If possible, please review our recommendations prior to the webinar: https://docs.google.com/document/d/180g1rfC5n_cR6sioG_LFGaUPNmQyDqTsPafVu4g… •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• Past webinars can be found here. <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwMIJWOX7n_ZFoFpOsmCzgw/videos>

Plant Bioinformatics Resources Workshop & Virtual Booth Exhibit at ASPB 2021

by Marcela K. Monaco

Dear All, Once again, Shabari (TAIR) and myself (Marcela, CSHL) are in charge of the organization of the Plant Bioinformatics Resources Workshop at the Virtual 2021 ASPB Plant Biology meeting. We were allotted a total of 2 hours on the Sunday prior to the official kick off of the meeting. So, we would like to get an idea of how many resources would be interested in participating in the workshop. Plant Bioinformatics Resources Workshop Sunday July 18, 2021 4:45 PM – 6:45 PM EDT If you are planning on attending the meeting and are interested in giving a talk, please fill out the table below with your contact info and tentative title (topic) of your talk to help us decide on how to best accommodate all interested speakers or if we need to set forth selection metrics in a minimum rubric (e.g., topics of interests from last survey, impact on the plant community, interconnectivity with other resources, target users, etc.). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RlLXxEF992PNByzRTclKqrTTdg1wF26tTrR… (WORKSHOP page) Our deadline to finalize the list of speakers is May 19, so we will close this table by May 10. Again, if there is a similar number of resources as last year, we are likely to follow the same format of short pre-recorded talks. However, if we have a larger number, we might need to select a subset of representative topics/resources. VIRTUAL BOOTH EXHIBIT The AgBioData Steering Committee is pleased to announce that all members of the consortium will have the opportunity to have a virtual presence in the AgBioData Virtual Booth Exhibit. The booth will have premium features including the ability to virtually interact live and text chat with visiting users, get analytic data of views/clicks, scan visitors via a scavenger hunt, and other perks. If you are interested in participating, I may be asking you for a logo of your resource and a summary slide to include in an automated slideshow that will be uploaded in our booth. The best part is that even if you are not attending the meeting, there are free exhibit hall-only registrations, which would allow us to split duties to "wo/man" the booth at prime times, and set up 1-on-1 meetings with our users. Anyhow, if you are interested in having your resource participate in the booth, please sign up in the same doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RlLXxEF992PNByzRTclKqrTTdg1wF26tTrR… (BOOTH page) Also, do not forget the reduced group registration rates (regardless of membership status and affiliation), before June 19: 5-9 People, per person $219 10-24 people, per person $159 Looking forward to having a strong AgBioData presence at the next ASPB meeting!

Conference: BOSC 2021, part of ISMB/ECCB Online!

by Monica Munoz-Torres

Dear colleagues, I hope it is okay for me to share this message with the community. I would like to kindly invite all of you to consider joining us at BOSC 2021. I believe that this event offers a brilliant opportunity for many in the AgBioData community to share the fruits of your work. The 2021 Bioinformatics Open Source Conference <https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2021> (BOSC) is a forum for developers and users to interact and share research results and ideas in open source bioinformatics and open science. Topics include software development practices that promote open science standards and sharing of biological data and code, as well as approaches for building diverse communities. BOSC is a track of the conference on Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology / European Conference on Computational Biology 2021 <https://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2021> (ISMB/ECCB), and it will be held online on July 29-30. *The main abstract deadline is May 6th*. Please see our announcement on the BOSC website for complete details at https://www.open-bio.org/2021/03/24/join-us-at-bosc-2021 *Requesting registration fee assistance*: We realize that the cost of ISMB/ECCB may be prohibitive for some. If you are submitting an abstract to BOSC and would have difficulty covering the cost of registration, you can request registration fee assistance during abstract submission. *Increasing diversity in participation*: Please share this announcement with other people and groups who might be interested. We are particularly interested in reaching out to communities who may not yet be aware of BOSC! *Key Dates* - May 6, 2021: Deadline for submitting one-page talk/poster abstracts at https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc/submit/ - May 27: Talk/poster acceptance notifications - June 3: Late poster and Late-Breaking Lightning Talk (LBLT) submission deadline - June 10: Late poster / LBLT acceptance notifications - July 29-30: BOSC 2021 Online <https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc/> (part of ISMB/ECCB 2021 Online) - July 31-Aug 1: CollaborationFest <https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2021/collaborationfest/> (CoFest) We hope to see you online at BOSC 2021! Sincerely, ~moni, *on behalf of the BOSC 2021 Organizing Committee: Nomi Harris (chair), Karsten Hokamp (co-chair), Peter Cock, Chris Fields, Jessica Maia, Monica Munoz-Torres, Malvika Sharan, Jason Williams* <https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc/> *--Moni Munoz-Torres, PhDAssistant Professor, Oregon State UniversityAffiliate Professor, Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryDirector of Operations, Center for Cancer Data Harmonization (CCDH)*

Reminder: AgBioData webinar - Wednesday April 7th

by Darwin Campbell

Greetings! I hope this email finds you well. Spring is in full swing in the midwest, the crocus and hyacinth are now in full bloom and sharing their most awesome aroma. Perhaps, unless you have allergies, it doesn't get much better than this. Below are the details of the *April 7th AgBioData webinar*, we look forward to seeing you online with us, and hope your schedule allows you to join us *this* Wednesday!

By displaying experimentally validated gene functions associated to individual genes within a tree, PhyloGenes enables functional inference for genes of uncharacterized function, based on their evolutionary relationships to experimentally studied genes, in a visually traceable manner. For the many families containing genes that have evolved to perform different functions, PhyloGenes also facilitates the study of function evolution. The current PhyloGenes release (version 2.2) includes 40 plant genomes covering a broad taxonomic range and including all major crops, along with 10 non-plant model organisms represented in over 8,000 gene families. Over two-thirds of the families have at least one member with a validated known function as GO terms. To increase the predictive power of PhyloGenes, future work will involve community contribution and emphasize on incorporating new functional annotations of family members across families and subfamilies, and also adding complimentary functional datasets such as gene expression and mutant phenotype Join by video system Dial 1209064216(a)iastate.webex.com You can also dial 173.243.2.68 and enter your meeting number.
