Subject: GO & tool development proposal
Message-ID: <fc.00663d3d011bb56b00663d3d011bb56b.11be220@cvm.msstate.edu>

Hi All,

We are preparing a proposal seeking funding from USDA. We aim to increase
the number of chicken and bovine gene ontology (GO) annotations and link
GO annotations to products represented on publicly-available microarrays.
We seek to develop tools for modeling functional genomics datasets,
including hypothesis-driven interrogation of datasets using the GO. We
will provide a mechanism for researchers to submit GO annotation requests
and provide opportunities to both learn more about the use of GO-based
tools for modeling functional genomics data and how to do your own GO
annotations.

We would appreciate it if you can reply with a short email indicating your
support and any comments and ideas regarding how you would like to use the
gene ontology.

Regards,
Fiona McCarthy, Shane Burgess, Susan Bridges

Thanks Dan..

...just realised we have over 10 million GO annotations this month

WELL DONE GO Consortium :-))))

Subject: June 21 - Registration Deadline for GO Camp
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.21.0606191448480.20860-100000@fafner.Stanford.EDU>

Hello,

If you are interested in attending the GO Annotation Camp to be held
at Stanford University, please note that the final deadline for
registration, June 21st, is nearly upon us.

The training portion of the Camp will be three days long from 9 am
Wednesday, July 12th until 5pm on Friday, July 14th. Below are links
to the working schedule, general information, and the registration
page.

Similar to the 2005 GO Annotation Camp, this will be a practical
workshop focusing on the process of making GO annotations from the
research literature. Much of our time will be spent reading research
articles and using tools to browse the ontologies to determine
appropriate GO annotations that can be made from a given paper. Note
that this workshop will NOT deal with automated or computational
methods of making GO annotations via sequence similarity comparisons.

Registration is required for organizational purposes, but there is NO
registration fee. General information, the working schedule, and the
registration form are available from the links below.

Working Schedule:
	http://www.geneontology.org/meeting/AnnotCamp2006sched.shtml

General Information:
	http://www.geneontology.org/meeting/AnnotCamp2006info.shtml

Registration Form:
	http://www.geneontology.org/meeting/AnnotCamp2006reg.shtml

If you have any questions, please contact me
(kchris at genome.stanford.edu).

Regards,

-Karen
