Hi everybody,
Next Wed, *Sept. 7th*, we will have *Nicholas J. Provart* from
the University of Toronto talking about the tools recently developed by his
lab and available at the Bio-Analytic <http://bar.utoronto.ca/>Resource
<http://bar.utoronto.ca> for analyzing large plant data sets.
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

Host: Dr. Sunita Kumari
Abstract:
*Raising the BAR for Hypothesis Generation in Plant Biology Using Open Big
Data.*
We have developed tools, available as part of the Bio-Analytic Resource at
http://bar.utoronto.ca, for exploring large data sets from plants, to allow
deeper insights into biological questions. My lab’s three visual analytic
tools for transcriptomic data (eFP Browser, ePlant, and eFP-Seq Browser)
allow for rapid access to comprehensive gene expression compendia we have
curated for identifying tissues, cell-types, or perturbations in which a
gene is active or alternatively spliced. Interactions, be they
protein-protein or regulatory, create networks. We have developed new tools
for exploring such data, either from large collections of
experimentally-supported protein-protein or protein-DNA interactions or
from predicted interactions, including protein-protein interactions
inferred from molecular docking studies. We are currently working on
integrating large-scale phenotype data from field trials monitored by
drone-based sensors into ePlants we have developed for several
agronomically-important species to improve understanding of links between
genotype and phenotype.

Hi everybody,
This is a gentle reminder of our webinar tomorrow (August 3rd). We will
have *ThankGod Ebenezer* from EMBL-EBI (UK) talking about the African
BioGenome Project (AfricaBP) project and the applications of genomic
approaches for food security and biodiversity conservation in Africa.
I have included below more details about the webinar and the zoom link to
attend the webinar.
We hope you will join us.
Best,
Annarita

Host: Dr. Jacqueline Campbell
Abstract:
*The African BioGenome Project (AfricaBP): Genomics in the service of
African biological diversity.*
Food security and biodiversity conservation represents a substantial issue
worldwide, and requires local solutions, as highlighted in the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals. I will discuss the progress and process of
establishing a pan-African network to address this challenge through
genomic science and how this could inform and influence policy across
Africa.

Dear AgBioData community members,
The next Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) Field Day is on Wednesday, August 17 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Central Time, UTC-5). In this field day, we will hear from scientists at two companies that develop tools for genomic and phenomic research and analysis. Paul McMahon, from Phenospex, and Andrea Johnstone, from EpiCypher, will describe the work being done at their respective companies to facilitate genome to phenome discoveries.
Please note: this field day is a result of an open call for presenters; AG2PI does not endorse or otherwise benefit from the companies presenting at this event.
We invite you to register for this Zoom event at https://tinyurl.com/AG2PI-FD20, where you will also find additional information. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. If you are unable to attend the live session, then you will be able to find a recording at ag2pi.org/<https://www.ag2pi.org/>, at a later date. You do not need to register to view the recording; it is readily available on the AG2PI website soon after the close of the event (generally within 24 hours).
Feel free to share this message and attached flyer with colleagues at your institution.
Kind regards,
Nicole
