AgBioData Consortium Virtual Booth Exhibit at ASPB 2021 -- FREE to you!

by Marcela K. Monaco

Dear All, Just a reminder that the AgBioData Consortium will have a virtual booth exhibit at Plant Biology 2021. Darwin Campbell has done a wonderful job setting this up with very basic info and links to the AgBioData website, which has in turn, links to all of our DBs/resources. We may not have the (wo)manpower to make a new video with summary slides for all resources but for now he has uploaded the intro video I recorded for the workshop. We can only list up to 4 contacts, so we may list AgBioData as one of them and forward any targeted inquiries to the relevant resource rep. Here is a screenshot of our v-booth: [image: image.png] If you would like to sign up for a time slot to (wo)man the booth, you will have the opportunity to schedule videochat meetings with general visitors and/or your users (we are part of the meeting's scavenger hunt so we can expect some traffic!). I believe that so far, only Asher and I have volunteered for this. *Show Hours: *Monday, Jul 19, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM *Show Hours: *Tuesday, Jul 20, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM *Show Hours: *Thursday, Jul 22, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM *Show Hours: *Friday, Jul 23, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Other features we could take advantage of are: *- Upload up to 6 PDFs* (one will be the AgBioData brochure, and preference will be given to resources with a rep "on site", remember that exhibit-only registrations are FREE and it is only a 1-hour commitment to be on call at the booth!) *- Upload up to 6 images* (could consider slides combining various logos with pics/contact/availability of rep on site) *- A giveaway button*, if anyone is interested in offering some swag in exchange for, by example, filling a survey! (we will just need to provide a link to the form where details can be explained) *- List up to 4 reps with photo or DB logo, bio and contact details* - Again, I know Asher and I are confirmed for this, but could be mistaken... (if so, apologies) I will try to work some more on this next week, so anyone looking to participate and have your resource highlighted, please shoot us a line :) Minimum work for us, PLEASE, we're very tight!

ASPB and code of conduct information

by Darwin Campbell

Greetings! In the webinar presented Wednesday by Monica Poelchau, (link to the webinar recording: https://youtu.be/nFskgT23pnY), she mentioned a couple of things in the announcements portion that I wanted to follow up on. - Through the generous support of Dorrie Main, AgBioData will have a workshop and virtual booth at 2021 ASPB. The video ( https://youtu.be/nFskgT23pnY?t=30) has details about and booth and the URL to sign up for space at the booth can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RlLXxEF992PNByzRTclKqrTTdg1wF26tTrR…. Marcela K. Monaco sent an email to this list group on Fri, Apr 30, with the subject: *Plant Bioinformatics Resources Workshop & Virtual Booth Exhibit at ASPB 2021* that has additional details. I'm sure we'll have additional information to share as this process moves forward. - The AgBioData Consortium steering committee is working toward the adoption of a *Code of Conduct* (https://youtu.be/nFskgT23pnY?t=155). We invite you to provide your thoughts and input on the content in this google document: https://tinyurl.com/yf263q7h before its adoption. With your browser in "suggesting mode", feel free to make changes or add comments as you wish. If you have any questions or comments that you would rather not post in a public document but want to share, send an email to me at darwin(a)iastate.edu. *The commenting period will close at Noon CT on May 13th (next Wednesday)*. *** *The Steering Committee is looking for one or two people that would serve as Ombudsperson to AgBioData community. This could be a person outside of the organization that one could report inappropriate activity to the Steering Committee without engaging them directly *if* the need arises. It is expected that their services would be seldom needed or used. Contact me at darwin(a)iastate.edu if you or someone you know might be interested in this opportunity. All the best, and I hope you have a safe and great weekend!

Plant Bioinformatics Resources Workshop & Virtual Booth Exhibit at ASPB 2021

by Marcela K. Monaco

Dear All, Once again, Shabari (TAIR) and myself (Marcela, CSHL) are in charge of the organization of the Plant Bioinformatics Resources Workshop at the Virtual 2021 ASPB Plant Biology meeting. We were allotted a total of 2 hours on the Sunday prior to the official kick off of the meeting. So, we would like to get an idea of how many resources would be interested in participating in the workshop. Plant Bioinformatics Resources Workshop Sunday July 18, 2021 4:45 PM – 6:45 PM EDT If you are planning on attending the meeting and are interested in giving a talk, please fill out the table below with your contact info and tentative title (topic) of your talk to help us decide on how to best accommodate all interested speakers or if we need to set forth selection metrics in a minimum rubric (e.g., topics of interests from last survey, impact on the plant community, interconnectivity with other resources, target users, etc.). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RlLXxEF992PNByzRTclKqrTTdg1wF26tTrR… (WORKSHOP page) Our deadline to finalize the list of speakers is May 19, so we will close this table by May 10. Again, if there is a similar number of resources as last year, we are likely to follow the same format of short pre-recorded talks. However, if we have a larger number, we might need to select a subset of representative topics/resources. VIRTUAL BOOTH EXHIBIT The AgBioData Steering Committee is pleased to announce that all members of the consortium will have the opportunity to have a virtual presence in the AgBioData Virtual Booth Exhibit. The booth will have premium features including the ability to virtually interact live and text chat with visiting users, get analytic data of views/clicks, scan visitors via a scavenger hunt, and other perks. If you are interested in participating, I may be asking you for a logo of your resource and a summary slide to include in an automated slideshow that will be uploaded in our booth. The best part is that even if you are not attending the meeting, there are free exhibit hall-only registrations, which would allow us to split duties to "wo/man" the booth at prime times, and set up 1-on-1 meetings with our users. Anyhow, if you are interested in having your resource participate in the booth, please sign up in the same doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RlLXxEF992PNByzRTclKqrTTdg1wF26tTrR… (BOOTH page) Also, do not forget the reduced group registration rates (regardless of membership status and affiliation), before June 19: 5-9 People, per person $219 10-24 people, per person $159 Looking forward to having a strong AgBioData presence at the next ASPB meeting!

By displaying experimentally validated gene functions associated to individual genes within a tree, PhyloGenes enables functional inference for genes of uncharacterized function, based on their evolutionary relationships to experimentally studied genes, in a visually traceable manner. For the many families containing genes that have evolved to perform different functions, PhyloGenes also facilitates the study of function evolution. The current PhyloGenes release (version 2.2) includes 40 plant genomes covering a broad taxonomic range and including all major crops, along with 10 non-plant model organisms represented in over 8,000 gene families. Over two-thirds of the families have at least one member with a validated known function as GO terms. To increase the predictive power of PhyloGenes, future work will involve community contribution and emphasize on incorporating new functional annotations of family members across families and subfamilies, and also adding complimentary functional datasets such as gene expression and mutant phenotype Join by video system Dial 1209064216(a)iastate.webex.com You can also dial 173.243.2.68 and enter your meeting number.

Fwd: AG2PI seed grant applications open!

by Darwin Campbell

Greetings! Forwarding this on in the event you are interested to apply. Please note there is a mini conference on 2/24 to discuss the Seed Grant Mechanism and Team-Building Opportunity. Darwin Campbell, AgBioData coordinator on behalf of the AgBioData steering committee ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Scott, Nicole M [AGRON] <nmscott(a)iastate.edu> Date: Tue, Feb 2, 2021 at 4:22 PM Subject: AG2PI seed grant applications open! To: Scott, Nicole M [AGRON] <nmscott(a)iastate.edu> Dear Colleagues and AG2PI Community Members, A major goal of the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI <https://ag2pi.org/>) is to bring together agricultural scientists across disciplines to work together in addressing shared challenges in genome-to-phenome. As such, we have launched a *seed grant program* to foster first steps towards the development of community solutions to research needs and opportunities, as well as gaps in physical infrastructure and data management. The AG2PI seed grant program aims to fund around six (6) awards, each up to $20,000. Applications will be due by 5pm CST on Friday, March 19th. The anticipated start date for funded projects is May 15, 2021 and each project may be 6-12 months in duration. Further details regarding the request for proposals, application and review can be found at the AG2PI website ( https://ag2pi.org). AG2PI will be hosting a Seed Grant Conference on February 24 from 10:30am-12:30pm CST. This conference will provide an overview of the seed grant mechanism, examples of how seed grants have improved or advanced a scientific endeavor or community and will provide an opportunity to ask questions regarding the seed grants. Additionally, there will be a “teaming” event which will create the virtual space to discuss your seed grant idea with like-minded researchers with whom you may want to work. For the full conference agenda, please see the “Workshops & Activities” page of the AG2PI website. We invite you to register for this mini-conference at https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/conference-2021-02-24/. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. A link to join the meeting will also be provided the day of the event on the AG2PI website.
