Dear AgBioData community members,
The next Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) Field Day will be "Digital Tools for Agriculture Research - AG2PI "Coconut" Grant Outcomes" and will be on Wednesday, April 24 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (CDT, UTC-5). In this field day, we will first hear from Dr. Trevor Rife regarding how his app "Field Book" can be used as a tool for plant phenotyping. Then, Dr. Jinha Jung, Dr. Minyoung Jung and Benjamin Hancock will introduce their open source online platform for UAS HTP data management and sharing. Both of these presentations are outcomes from AG2PI "coconut" (large seed) grants.
We invite you to register for this Zoom event at https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/field-day-2024-04-24/, 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).
Please share the attached, digitally accessible flyer with your colleagues or students and encourage them to attend.
Kind regards,
Nicole

*Abstracts:*
*The Practical Haplotype Graph Version 2: A Streamlined and Simple
Pangenome System*
The Practical Haplotype Graph (PHG) is a powerful tool for representing
diverse plant pangenomes and imputing new sample genotypes for breeding
programs and other purposes. Low-coverage sequencing data from various
technologies (DaRT, GBS, etc.) is sufficient to identify paths through the
graph, which can be stored efficiently within the PHG database or used to
call variants and create custom genomes for alignment. PHGv2 refines and
streamlines the original PHGv1 platform.

Hi everybody,
Join us tomorrow, March. 6th, at 12 PM CDT, for our monthly webinar. Cyril
Pommier <https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9040-8733> will talk about FAIR plant
phenomics data management tools and guidelines from the ELIXIR and Emphasis
European infrastructures.

*Abstracts:*
*FAIR Plant Phenomics Data Management Tools and Guidelines from ELIXIR and
Emphasis European Infrastructures*
Plant phenomics data has been greatly facilitated over the past ten years
at several levels: data standards to organize and describe data, databases
for the management of the experiments, data repositories to ensure
long-term accessibility supplemented by data portals to maximise
findability and finally, guidelines to ease their usage. We will review the
recent advances from joint initiatives involving two European
infrastructures: ELIXIR (Life science data) and EMPHASIS (Plant phenomics).
First, we will update the current status of MIAPPE (www.miappe.org), a data
standard interoperable with the Breeding API that enables not only
phenotyping experiment formalisation but also their linking with
genotyping. We will also give an overview of its usage in generic data
repositories such as Dataverse or Zenodo and their relation with
experimental databases such as PHIS. Finding the right documentation to use
those tools and standards is not always straightforward. The RDMKit (
https://rdmkit.elixir-europe.org/) is a guidelines portal that has been
built to help researchers find the information subset they need. Through a
dedicated section, such as the plant domain page (
https://rdmkit.elixir-europe.org/), it shows the complementarity between
standards and tools and provides the guidance needed for data management.
Finally, we will also update the status of FAIDARE (
https://urgi.versailles.inrae.fr/faidare/), a global data portal that
indexes 30 databases using either BrAPI or a generic minimal format.

Forwarding this announcement from Timothy P.L. Smith (USDA-ARS, Meat Animal
Research Center):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to announce that Drs. Arang Rhie and Sergey Koren, from the
Center for Genomics and
Data Science Research at the National Institutes of Health, have agreed to
conduct an in-person hands-
on workshop on inspecting and resolving genome assembly graphs in
conjunction with the Advances in
Genome Biology and Technology Agriculture conference (AGBT-Ag) in Phoenix
on Sunday, April 14, 7-9
pm (following the RCN workshop). The workshop will be organized by Drs.
Brenda Murdoch and Ben
Rosen, and requires registration for the conference at www.agbt.org.
Resolving assembly graphs is an important component of generating full
haplotype separated diploid or
polyploid assemblies in animals or plants, and particularly important in
the context of “complete”
telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assembly. The Ruminant T2T project aims to
generate T2T assemblies of
cetartiodactyla species and other species that can generate the appropriate
data types but the graph
resolution step is a manual process and additional trained personnel would
be beneficial to speed
progress and accelerate other T2T efforts.
The training will cover evaluating assembly graphs in bandage, resolving
tangles that are amenable to
manual resolution, and generating assemblies with resolved sequence. Some
easy and difficult graphs
will be examined during the two hour workshop. We are very grateful that
Arang and Sergey are willing
to develop this tutorial and provide their expertise.
Please email Kelsey McClure at kelsey.mcclure(a)usda.gov if you want to
attend the workshop by March
5, so that we can make sure we can accommodate the number of interested
participants. If you hope to
attend but do not know if you will be able to by that deadline, please go
ahead and email with a
statement to that effect.
