Hello everyone,
We will be in Honolulu next week for the Plant Biology 2024 Conference!
If you will be there, join us for the "Plant Bioinformatics Resources for
FAIR Agricultural Data Discovery and Reuse" on Saturday, June 22, at 10 AM
in room 312. Some of our member databases will present their recent updates
and resources (https://www.agbiodata.org/pbr-aspb-2024).
We will also be in *booth #406* to meet all of you in person and talk about
our work and future directions.
Have a lovely week,
Annarita
Dear AgBioData members,
This is a friendly reminder to participate in our *brief survey* on the
impact of AgBioData activities on FAIR data management awareness if you
haven't already done so.
This survey is a follow-up to a similar one we ran in 2022 and will help us
quantify the impact of our efforts during the three-year National Science
Foundation (NSF) RCN project on increasing the awareness and implementation
of FAIR practices in the AgBioData community.
Your participation in this survey is crucial for our mission to enhance
FAIR data in agricultural research and will provide insights that can help
us define the consortium's directions and secure future funding.
Click here <https://tinyurl.com/AgBioData24> to participate in this survey.
We would like to emphasize that your participation in this survey is
entirely voluntary and anonymous.
For general questions or assistance accessing and completing the survey,
please write to me or contact Dr Michael Coe at
michael(a)cedarlakeresearch.com.
Thanks for your contribution to AgBioData and for being part of our
community!
Best,
Annarita
Hi everybody,
This is a friendly reminder of our monthly webinar tomorrow at 12 PM CDT.
We have *Ethy Cannon *(USDA-ARS) talking about the *pan-genomic resources
at MaizeGDB*.
I have included below more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to
attend the webinar.
I hope you will join us.
Best,
Annarita

*Abstracts:*
*Pan-genomic resources at MaizeGDB*
Pan-genomes, encompassing the entirety of genetic sequences found in a
collection of genome assemblies within a clade, can be more useful than
single reference genomes. This is especially true for Zea mays, which has a
particularly diverse and complex genome. Presenting full pan-genome data is
challenging, especially for a diverse species, but valuable when
pan-genomic data can be linked to extensive gene models and gene data,
including classical gene information, markers, insertions, expression and
proteomic data, and protein structures, as is the case at MaizeGDB. I will
present the pan-gene analysis pipeline Pandagma and MaizeGDB’s pan-gene
data centre, which offers a variety of browsing and visualizations,
including sequence alignment visualization, gene trees and more, which
enables exploration of pan-genes in Zea.
