Agenda

Presentation from John Doonan: High-throughput Phenotyping

    • first 30 minutes
    • Questions (Time permitting)

Open discussion about High Throughput Phenotyping

  • Computer vision-based plant traits and their possible inclusion in the Plant Trait Ontology

Example:

  • Normalized Difference Vegetation Index NDVI (NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red)
  • Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index GNDVI (NIR-Green)/(NIR+Green)

Do these traits actually require novel trait classes in the TO? Or are they simply a different method used to measure existing traits (like Leaf Area Index (TO:0012001), or leaf area duration (TO:0012010)

Traits like plant height are a little more clear, as there doesn't seem to be a difference in the trait, so much as the technology used to make the measurement (they use similar scales, such as millimeters ).


  • If you have topics you would like to discuss, please send them my way (meiera@science.oregonstate.edu)

Biocuration 2017, March 26-29, 2017

  • To be considered for a talk, abstracts must be submitted by January 13, 2017
  • Abstract submission deadline for posters is February 17, 2017
  • Biocuration 2017 will bring together hundreds of leading curation scientists, bioinformaticians, and developers from all over the world to discuss their work, promote collaboration and foster a sense of community in this very active and growing area of research.
  • Call for Workshops:
    • Submission deadline: November 11, 2016
    • Submission email: biocuration2017@lists.stanford.edu
  • The purpose of a workshop is to provide an opportunity for participants from academia and industry to present and discuss novel ideas on current and emerging topics relevant to biocuration. Workshops are an excellent forum for exploring emerging approaches and task areas, for bridging the gaps between the curation and technology subfields of biocuration, and for critiquing existing approaches. This is a great opportunity to discuss specific topics with so many colleagues and working scientists gathered in the same location.
  • For the best opportunity for consideration, proposals should be received by November 11, 2016. Please submit a short paragraph (or two) describing the following:
  • Proposed scope and main objective, and their relation to biocuration
  • Brief discussion of why the topic is of particular interest at this time
  • Suggested format (talks, panel discussion, etc.)
  • Potential speakers, panels, or other activities
