Wednesday we had a wrap-up meeting of the gn-learning efforts.
The goal of these meetings was to learn how to upload data into GN. In the process Felix has become the de facto uploader, next to Arthur. A C. elegans dataset was uploaded and Felix is preparing
Updates are here:
We'll keep focussing on that work and hopefully we'll get more parties interested in doing some actual work down the line.
Harm commented that he thought these meetings were valuable, particularly we learnt a lot about GN ins and outs. Harm suggests we focus on hosting GN in Wageningen for C. elegans and Arabidopsis. Pjotr says that is a priority this year, even if we start on a privately hosted machine in NL. Wageningen requires Docker images and Bonface says that is possible - with some work. So:
Having above datasets will help this effort succeed.
Harm is also very interested in the AI efforts and wants to pursue that in the context of above server - i.e., functionality arrives when it lands in GN.
Jameson suggest we can work with Wormbase and the Caender folks once we have a running system. Interactive data analysis is very powerful and could run in conjunction with those sites.
Other efforts are Flybase and Arabidopsis Magic which we can host, in principle.
Jameson will continue with his work on risiduals.
