Hi, Dave:

Would that have been the Oregon Evolution meeting?  Greg Wray spoke about
cis-reg evolution, I think.  Last night I had dinner with Kevin Peterson who
spoke about micro-rnas and phylogeny probably.

You are correct that the Sea Urchin group hasn't made major contributions.
In my fervor I mis-interpreted the heading.

I'll follow your instructions about the later items.  It may be too soon to
write a User Story.  We're still working on BioMart and adding data.  The
site went public in anticipation of the Sea Urchin Meeting SUDBXVIII near
the end of this month.

I'll keep in touch.

Cheers,
ANDY

Hi Andy,

I've been hearing rumors about the sea urchin database coming up soon.
 I also spent the weekend at an evolution conference where I heard
more about sea urchins then I have ever heard before.

The list of databases at the bottom of the GMOD home page are those
organizations that have made major contributions to the GMOD project.
I am guessing that sea urchin is currently not a major contributor to
GMOD.  Let me know if this guess is wrong.

However, you are a new user and we would very much like to highlight
SpBase in the web site.  Some thoughts:

1. Add a news item to the GMOD News page: http://gmod.org/GMOD_News.
Instructions on how to do this are at the bottom of the page.  I would
be happy to do this if you want me to.
2. The web site has at least 2 pages that list databases that use
GMOD.  I'll add SpBase to both of these.  (I have plans to merge those
pages, but not this month.)
3. Consider writing a GMOD User Story.  See
http://gmod.org/GMOD_News#GMOD_at_ParameciumDB.  A GMOD User Story
describes a particular organization's experience with implementing
GMOD.  I have plans to write a second story about SGD in the next
month.  If you wanted, SpBase could be the second one.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Dave Clements

PS: Scott Cain and I (who answer most help desk mail) will be at
Arthropod Genomics for most of the next week or so.  E-mail response
will be slow after Wednesday night.
