Enhancing Gene Annotation: Insights from PAMGO Outreach and Workshops in July 2008

The PAMGO Outreach event held on July 14-15, 2008, brought together 29 attendees to explore critical topics like structural and functional annotation, and the Gene Ontology (GO). Participants engaged in hands-on annotation exercises, reading three papers of varying difficulty, and succeeded in group discussions on GO annotations. Additionally, Candace's "Comparative Genomics of Plant Pathogens" presentation highlighted how new GO terms advance the understanding of microbe-host interactions during visits to three Chinese universities, as well as at the APS Meeting in Minnesota. The workshops aim to educate the virulence community about GO usage.

Presentation Transcript

  1. PAMGO outreach • July 14-15, 2008 (followed by Oomycete workshop) • 29 attendees • Topics included • structural annotation • functional annotation • the Gene Ontology • PAMGO • Annotation exercises • Michelle demo’ed Manatee and sequence-based annotations • we asked them to read 3 papers - 1 easy, 2 harder • after the first day we asked them to try to do GO annotation of the 3 papers • on the second day we engaged in group discussion/annotation of the 3 papers to GO • they did very well

  3. Candace’s China Tour • “Comparative genomics of plant pathogens: How new Gene Ontology (GO) terms facilitate the study of microbe-host interactions” • Presented at 3 Chinese universities during summer 2008 • Nanjing Agricultural University • Hangzhou University • Shang Jiaotong University Followed by a “Flash and Dash” at the APS Meeting in Minnesota • “Using the universal language of Gene Ontology (GO)to annotate gene products involved in the interactions between microbes and their hosts” • Centennial meeting of the American Phytopathological Society, Minneapolis, MN, July, 2008

  5. IGS outreach • Michelle’s 2-day workshops • you’ve heard me talk about these many times • 2008 dates: May, September, and November • They’re FREE (tell your friends and neighbors) • Educating the virulence community about GO • Trying to get the BRCs to use GO evidence codes • This resulted in desire for IGC sub-codes • BRCs are expected to send data to BRC Central with (mostly) GO codes by the end of October
