Dear Colleagues,
We have some spots available to attend the AgBioData Annual Workshop IN
PERSON. This hybrid event will be held on April 20–22, 2026, in Olathe,
Kansas. To be eligible for support, you will need to be affiliated at a
US-based institution. We will pay for airfare or equivalent, two nights
lodging, meals and ground transportation in Kansas.
Please let me know ASAP if you would be willing and able to participate in
person. There is no cost for national and international participants to
join remotely.
We hope you will be able to join us!
Marcela

Title: Extending the Gene Ontology for Biological Network Modeling
Abstract: The Gene Ontology (GO) is an essential resource in the
bioinformatics landscape, supporting a wide range of applications. It
serves both as a comprehensive encyclopedia of biological knowledge and as
a key tool for interpreting high-throughput biological data. More recently,
GO has expanded to support biological network modeling through the
development of GO Causal Activity Models (GO-CAMs), which enable network
analysis within the highly structured GO data framework. This presentation
will introduce the GO-CAM data model, describe its relationship to standard
GO annotations, and highlight ontology developments driven by GO-CAM
requirements. It will also discuss how GO is leveraging artificial
intelligence to enhance multiple aspects of the GO workflow, including
ontology development, annotation, and quality control.
