AgBioData monthly webinar - Next Wed, December 7th

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, Next Wed, *December 7th*, we will have Sushma Naithani <http://naithanilab.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/> from Oregon State University talking about Plant Reactome <https://plantreactome.gramene.org/index.php?lang=en>, a platform that allows the integration of OMICs data for the biocuration of plant genes and pathways. Below you can find more details about the webinar and the zoom link to attend the webinar. We hope you will join us. Best, Annarita :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Presenters: Dr. Sushma Naithani, Oregon State University Host: Dr. Annarita Marrano Abstract: *Plant Reactome: Using OMICs data for biocuration of plant genes and pathways* The major challenge in analyzing and connecting genotype to phenotype data at the organismal level is their integration and visualization for knowledge synthesis, which is required for generating OMICs data-driven predictive models for precision breeding of crops as well as accessing the needs of conservation of biodiversity and long-term sustainability. The Plant Reactome (https://plantreactome.gramene.org) is one such platform that allows integration of data from heterogeneous sources (i.e., published literature, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome data, orthology-based projections) for synthesizing in silico modeling of system-level plant pathway networks including metabolic pathways, biological processes associated with plant development and reproduction, and genetic-regulatory mechanisms that mediate plant survival under varied stress conditions. It provides a valuable framework for understanding how a gene, a group of connected genes, or genotypic differences culminate into a phenotype and supports the generation of data-driven hypotheses for understanding the intra-and -inter-species differences for basic and translational research and precision breeding. Here, we emphasize our recent efforts in using Omics data for improving gene/gene family functional annotations and biocuration of gene-gene networks. *| 1P ET | 12P CT | 11A MT | 10A PT |* Find your local time here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+Monthly…> Annarita Marrano is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

JOIN the New AgBioData working groups

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, We just started Year 2 of our NSF RCN grant of FAIR data in agricultural research and are initiating *six new working groups around data-related issues and priorities* raised by the AgBioData community. Each working group currently has a set of achievable goals and deliverables and has a *6-12 month duration* (except for the *Sustainability*, *FAIR Scientific Literature*, and *DEI Recruiting* working groups, which will have a 2-year mandate with the possibility for their members to rotate off after a year). We anticipate that the commitment will generally be *between 2-6 hours per month*, including meeting attendance and offline work (e.g., literature, writing, etc.). This is your opportunity to shape the future of our research community by contributing to developing best practices of data archiving and management that can benefit you and all the other stakeholders. Participating in the AgBioData working groups will also offer you opportunities for - *professional networking* - *leadership skill development* - *authorship in impactful manuscripts* Please join one or more of our working groups here <https://forms.gle/ue662FBGLXaVyY1eA>, or share with anybody that can be interested! Best regards, Annarita

REMINDER: AgBioData monthly webinar - Tomorrow, November 2nd!

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, This is a gentle reminder of tomorrow's webinar with *Jennifer Cross <https://www.drjenicross.com/>* from Colorado State University. She will present the "*Science of Team Science*" and how team evaluation and coaching can help interdisciplinary teams advance science and overcome institutional and infrastructural challenges and barriers Below you can find more details about the webinar and the zoom link to attend the webinar. We hope you will join us. Best, Annarita :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Presenters: Dr. Jennifer Cross, Colorado State University Host: Prof. John McNamara Abstract: *Science of Team Science: Using Developmental Evaluation to Advance Transdisciplinary Teams and Evolve Science.* For the past 20 years or more, science has been evolving to answer more complex questions, which require more complex teams. While scientists are eager to engage with diverse colleagues, academic institutions are slow to change and present a variety of barriers to advancing science. I will explore how the field “science of team science” has been growing and how team assessment, evaluation, and coaching can help teams become more effective. Case studies of interdisciplinary teams will be shared to illustrate how developmental evaluation and assessment can help accelerate team growth, and overcome institutional and infrastructural challenges and barriers. *| 1P ET | 12P CT | 11A MT | 10A PT |* Find your local time here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+Monthly…> Annarita Marrano is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
