Dear agricultural genome or phenome researcher:
This is a further announcement of the series of four “Field Days” on Single
Cell genomics in agriculture. Also, please see below for a second reminder
on travel funding for attending the AG2PI Single Cell Workshop March 29-30!
Details on the four sessions can be found at:
https://www.faang.org/bbs?s=2025_wkshop..txt
If you are interested in attending one or more of these *free* online
sessions, please register at least 2 days in advance at:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1W2aSNN0QEE-yzqehj2DHsGKa9N3fvCXHPMY9gAeZa7…
We will follow up with registered people to provide Zoom information one
day before the session and provide information on obtaining the sessions'
recordings once they are available.
*ALSO:*
**We still have a handful of seats available for early career researchers
to request $600 funding that will cover costs for the SC Workshop in
Orlando, Florida:
https://www.agbt.org/home/home/agbt-ag/agworkshops/#workshop3
If you are interested in this, have your advisor send confirmation you are
eligible: that you are currently in graduate school or within 5 years of
attaining your PhD.**
Thanks for your interest!

Hi everybody,
Join us for the first monthly webinar of 2025! Next Wednesday, Feb. 5th, at
12 PM CDT, David Molik and Adam Wright from the Genome Assembly and
Annotation Nomenclature working group will present their recent publication
(https://doi.org/10.1093/genetics/iyaf006) and recommendations on gene and
genome nomenclature.
I have included more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend
the webinar below.
I hope you will join us.
Best,
Annarita

*Abstracts:*
*Guidelines for Gene and Genome Assembly Nomenclature (GAAN)*
Clear and informative naming schemes enhance the utility of genome
assemblies and gene annotations. We present a comprehensive nomenclature
framework which incorporates species, sequencing group,
colony/breed/strain, version, and other critical metadata in a
well-structured format. This approach aligns with standards from AgBioData
discussions and ensures compatibility with major repositories such as those
in the INSDC. To facilitate adoption, we developed the Gene and Genome
Assembly Nomenclature (GAAN) tool for validating names under these
guidelines. Future iterations of GAAN will integrate external databases
like the Darwin Tree of Life Identifiers and the Vertebrate Breed Ontology
for further validation.

Dear everyone,
AgBioData will be at PAG 32 in San Diego! If you are attending the
conference, please join us:
- For *our workshop* on *Friday, Jan. 10, at 4 PM in room Town and
Country C*. There will be presentations from the current working groups
