Agenda and Notes
PJ
- Applying for no cost extension, should be planning to start applying for renewal by spring
- Ideally should include people who may have their own sources of funding
- Planning for a database release by Dec 15th, in advance of PAG 2018
- Metadata annotations automated,
- Neural network approach
- Using the images- recognition of leaf, flower, stem- ~ 60% accuracy
- Need to bring in engineering/computing folks, people doing high throughput phenotyping
GG
- Working to develop Plant PhenomeNet further, but need a good source of annotated data
- Qualities vs values in the data annotations
- New person hired…
- Luke Slater working on AberOwl
- Also focusing on updating PATO
- How to convert quantitative data to qualitative data??
EA
- phenotyping platforms, automating annotations
- MIAPPE meeting, concern about having ontology terms for the environment and experimental conditions
- Setting up collaboration with groups doing High Throughput Phenotyping
- French group at Agropolis in Montpellier
- John Doonan
- PODD- Australian group
- Invite them to one of our calls
GG: - most of the data is proprietary
- Can we partner with them? Use the data/images with the sources removed, feed back to them?
- Find phenotypic features
- Machine learning as an approach
PJ: Set up separate call with George and John to see what we can get working on
- Need the data
- Also would like to have Bjorn Usadel come to one of our meetings
EA:
- HTP work going on at IRRI and other sites, that data may be more available
- Will work on setting up a conf call with the folks French group at Agropolis in Montpellier
MAL:
- Breeding API
- Mapping CO to TO will facilitate finding the data
- Next two CO vocabs are groundnut and Musa
- Working with Ethy Cannon on traits from PeanutBase, follow up with Steve Cannnon as well
- Do we have any peanut data?- Not at this time
PJ: demo of the Ontology Enrichment Tool http://planteome.org/oat/
- Demo of the tool,
- test with the input gene example sets available from the bottom right hand side of the gene list box. Or add your own gene IDs from another species to test.
- Similar to AgriGO, but revised the methods
- Collaboration with software development company Sanmita
- Developing the ability to edit genes, add info etc
- May be able to merge with Noctua at some point in the future
- Community engagement portal
AM: Update on OoPS
- Samara scrape for APS and germplasm
- GRIN descriptors converted to gaf files
- Mapping files,
- Using INCA tool -https://planteome.github.io/planteome-inca-form
- Some steps need to be done manually- like pushing to GH
- Plant disease patterns, issues with names that are obtained from script
- Probably need to have meeting with Dan Keith and CM to see what needs to be done on the INCA tool to get it configured
- Scrape of diseases had about 11,000 lines, narrowed down to about 7000 as there are redundancies
- GG interested in doing text mining on the data set, or maybe a test set
- MAL- Crop dictionaries may also be helpful
LC:
- NAR paper in review
- Collaboration with Hong Cui and James Macklin- they have digitized the flora of North America descriptions
- Working on TO and PECO revisions
