Presentations at the ASPB meeting

[Christophe Tissier]

Hi Claire,

thanks for the emails.
MaizeGDB can't make it, so it will be TAIR, SGN and Gramene together for the
introductory session.
As mentioned before, we would hopefully follow up on a second session
focusing on Gene Ontology and MetaCyc (we will probably introduce AraCyc and
we could do the same for RiceCyc unless Pankaj wants to do it himself. As
for you Lukas, I am not sure whether you want to talk about the Cyc you're
putting together. It's still in beta, right? not been released to the
general public? Overall we think we'll keep the MetaCyc part short and
sweet).
After discussion, I think we're not going to have a third session for TAIR.
We would squeeze 20min of updates on our new genome release in the second
session.

I have contacted the organizers of the ASPB meeting (I am sorting out the
details for rooms etc. Do let me know if you're going to have some specific
requirements for your presentation other than Powerpoint usuals, laser
pointer...). We will need to submit an abstract for each session. Although
TAIR will fully take care of session 2, it would be nice if you could send
me a short description of what you want to talk about. I will draft an
abstract merging all your comments. It would be great if you could send me
this by tomorrow.

Thanks

Christophe
