RosEXEC nominations by 9 November - REMINDER

by Peace, Cameron

Reminder: Nominations for RosEXEC close this coming Monday (9 Nov). Full details in previous message (below). ************************************************************* Hi everyone, As another successful year winds down, RosEXEC (the U.S. Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding Executive Committee,) is ready for another round of elections to renew membership for 2016. In short, RosEXEC helps coordinate research initiatives in the U.S. Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding community (www.rosaceae.org/community/us_rosexec<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.rosaceae.org/communit…>). We need nominations! We are looking to add five new U.S. members (three-year terms) and two new international liaisons (two-year terms). If you are willing to join or know of someone else who would be great for RosEXEC participation, please email me at cpeace(a)wsu.edu<mailto:cpeace@wsu.edu> the following info for each nominated candidate prior to Monday 9 November: * name * CV (short version) * brief statement (100-word max) on proposed contributions to the RosEXEC mission Just names are good enough to get us moving - although if you are nominating someone else, it's best if you have checked their interest first. I can contact them soon after to obtain the CV and brief statement. Past service: Five U.S. people will be rotating off as of Jan 2016, after three-year terms: Stan Hokanson, Des Layne, Judson Ward, Michael Wisniewski, and JD Swanson who served as Chair in 2014. Two international liaisons will also be rotating off after two-year terms: Fabrizio Costa and Michael Considine. Thanks to all of these RosEXEC members for their service! As a reward, these people get a one-year respite (unless voted in as the 2016 Secretary) and so are not eligible for immediate re-election. However, those who rotated off in prior years are allowed to rejoin. Current members continuing into 2016 are Gayle Volk (Chair -> Past Chair), Cameron Peace (Vice chair -> Chair), Ksenija Gasic (Secretary -> Vice Chair), Gina Fernandez, Briana Gross, Duke Lane, Greg Reighard, Richard Bell, Jill Bushakra, Chunxian Chen, Amy Iezzoni, Kenong Xu, Michael Dossett (Intl), Riccardo Velasco (Intl), and Dorrie Main (ex officio). Diversity is important to any committee - we aim to represent (1) roughly equally the various Rosaceae crop production and research regions of the U.S., (2) at least a couple members each of university, government / USDA-ARS, and industry, (3) rosoid, pome, and stone fruit research focuses, roughly equally, and (4) various parts of the rest of the research world. Current members continuing into 2016 add up to: U.S. regions: 4 south, 4 east, and 4 west - well balanced Institutions: 7 university, 3 government, 1 industry - need more industry and govt Crop groups: 2.1 rosoid, 4.3 pome, and 5.6 stone - need more rosoid then pome International: 1 Canada, 1 Europe - need Asia, S. Africa, Down Under, S. America The only mandate for new 2016 membership is that one U.S. member must be industry. Details above are just a guide for areas most needing representation. Another area that would be particularly useful to have represented is bioinformatics (in Rosaceae), given RosEXEC's recently acquired new role as steering committee for the GDR. Our next in-person, open meeting will be within the Plant & Animal Genome (PAG) Conference in San Diego, CA at the usual time (Sunday 8-10 am). All welcome! Specific details will be distributed closer to the event. Timeline: Nominations to me by Monday 9 November Voting will be carried out 16 Nov to 18 Dec (U.S. researchers [and any other U.S.-based interested parties] may cast votes) New members will be announced by Christmas Secretary nominations and election (internal RosEXEC process) by the PAG meeting Regards, Cameron Peace 2015 RosEXEC Vice Chair and Membership Subcommittee Chair

Looking for Teaching Post doc candidates

by John-David Swanson

Hi all, Please forward to ANY interested parties! My name is JD Swanson, I once again have a post doctoral position available in my lab. The one I had last year was so successful she was snapped up into a tenure track role starting in the fall. Currently this new one is set for a one academic year (2015-2016). It is a teaching postdoc where the incumbent will teach 1-2 classes per semester (as teacher of record), and will work with my undergraduate students on my RI INBRE (NIH) based project working on the molecular mechanisms underling the effects of Raspberry Phenolics on human stomach cancer cells. The Postdoc will need to be willing to train undergraduate students in qPCR, and work with NGS data. Some human cell culture will be required, but extensive training will be provided through my collaborators lab at Brown University. Some work on grant, and manuscript preparation will also be included. This is a position that is ideal for a post-doc wanting to perdure a career as a faculty member at a primarily undergraduate university. Not to mention Newport RI is a WONDERFUL place to live. I do need to fill this position quickly, so please send CV’s to me directly as soon as possible (jd.swanson(a)salve.edu<mailto:jd.swanson@salve.edu>). I will be reviewing immediately until the position is filled. Thanks JD JD Swanson, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Biology Department of Biology ad Biomedical Sciences Salve Regina University 100 Ochre Point Ave Newport RI 02842 401-341-3165 jd.swanson(a)salve.edu http://Swanson.salvereginablogs.com<http://swanson.salvereginablogs.com/> To Book and Appointment, please go to: http://swansonjd.youcanbookme.com<http://swansonjd.youcanbookme.com/>

Request for gene data

by Sook Jung

Dear Rosaceae researchers, Gene Naming Guideline has been put together by Rosaceae Gene Name Standardization Subcommittee of RosEXEC/RosIGI and is available in GDR. This information is found on the main menu at 'Help' ->'Gene Naming Guideline'. http://www.rosaceae.org/nomenclature/gene We recommend authors to refer to the list of gene class symbols in Rosaceae and gene naming guidelines and submit the gene/gene class data. As in the guideline, the data can be submitted in the template available from the page below. http://www.rosaceae.org/data/submission *If you are working on Rosaceae genes, we would like to ask you to submit your gene data using the guideline and give us any feedback. If you know of any researchers who are actively working on genes, please forward this email.* The gene data includes gene name, gene symbol, species, gene model ID, evidence code, etc. After getting enough feedback from the community researchers, we will work with editors of journals to check whether the authors are following the nomenclature guidelines and make sure that novel gene names have been submitted to NCBI and/or GDR before accepting a paper as publishable. Unlike, NCBI, GDR will accept genes that do not come from single molecule sequencing with appropriate evidence code. Sincerely, GDR team ------------------------------------------ Sook Jung, PhD Assistant Research Professor of Bioinformatics Dept of Horticulture Washington State University 45 Johnson Hall, Pullman, WA 99164-6414 Email: sook_jung(a)wsu.edu ------------------------------------------- Follow GDR on Twitter! <https://twitter.com/GDR_news>
