Phenotype Grant Renewal Workshop

A workshop hosted by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent)


Location and Date

Venue: National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) (directions, also see information for visitors)

Date: April 28-29, 2009

Organizers: Paula Mabee, Monte Westerfield, Todd Vision

Introduction

The goal of this workshop is to discuss plans for a renewal of the Phenoscape NSF grant, to be submitted in July 2009. Specific aims of the renewal are to be determined by the workshop participants. An initial list includes creating the informatics tools necessary to integrate and mediate between different concepts of homology, extending the systematics legacy data transformation to all vertebrates, and laboratory case-studies for following up specific hypotheses generated by the expanding knowledge base.

Agenda

Note that this agenda is still in draft stage and may change before the meeting.

Reading

  • Within the Phenoscape project, we have been tagging interesting references about phenotype and taxonomy ontologies by using the tag "phenoscape" on Connotea. Everyone is welcome to suggest references by using this tag.
