About the Planteome Project
Planteome All-Hands Monthly meetings
The Planteome Project (http://planteome.org/) is a newly funded (NSF Award #1340112 NSF Award #1340112) initiative which will be create a centralized platform where reference ontologies for plants will be used to access cutting-edge data resources for plant traits, phenotypes, diseases, genomes and semantically-queried genetic diversity and gene expression data across a wide range of plant species. The Planteome will develop the Plant Trait Ontology (TO), the Plant Stress Ontology (PSO), and the Plant Environment Ontology (EO) besides taking over the development of Plant Ontology (PO). It will also include relevant aspects of ontologies such as Gene Ontology (GO), Cell type (CL), Chemical Entities (ChEBI), Protein Ontology and the Phenotypic Qualities Ontology (PATO). The Planteome fits into the existing biological ontology landscape, and will be an active participant in the OBO Foundry (http://obofoundry.org/crit.shtml), adhering to all of its principles. We will collaborate with the existing reference ontologies and contribute to their enrichment in terms and definitions of common importance to plant biology.
