oryzabase collaboration

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Hi Evereyone,

In one of the conference call recently, me and Doreen talked about
considering the collaboration with oryzabase for sharing the curation
work on rice protein database and their help on Japanese version of
ontology etc. In this refernce the response i received today from the
oryzabase person Dr. Yukiko Yamazaki is as follows. The good thing is
that the person will be coming to the Hinxton Genome meeting, where we
can talk about some more possibilities of collaboration.

Thanks

Hello Pankaj,

Thank you for your e-mail.
I'm interested in joining your project very much.
As for the gene ontology, I have not work on it yet
because I have been involved in so many other things
since I came back from IRRI.
But of course I have to start it anyway soon.

Yes, I'm going to attend the genome meeting at Hinxton.
Unfortunately "August" seems to be very busy season for 
Japanese rice researchers especially for field workers.
So, as a Oryzabase representative, I have to go this time.

Please keep in touch with me and looking forward
to meeting you soon.

Sincerely,

Yukiko
