Needs Analysis Workshop/Prioritization

Additional data types and query constraints

• Other data types or dimensions we haven’t looked at
  • Time: e.g., developmental time-series
  • Geography
• Abilities to restrict traits by
  • high-level character modules
  • gene
  • GO
  • location
  • developmental stage
  • availability of sufficient data

Prioritization

• Character mapping on trees
• Correlation matrix of traits
• Downloadable reports of query results (e.g. candidate genes; comparative phenotypic data)
• Identifying clades which traits vary (quick retrieval of character state distributions)
• Phenotypic BLAST to discover similar phenotypes and similar OTUs
• Discovery of genetic or evolutionary modules
• Integrating genetic data

Visualizations:

• body map
• filtering options
• visualizing the ontology
• external data types, link-out to NCBI
