[Go] Outreach and User Advocacy

[Jennifer Deegan (nee Clark)]

Hi,

Jane and I are compiling the report on user advocacy and outreach for 
January. If you did any work specifically to promote users needs in the 
consortium, to teach users how to use go, or to encourage or train new 
annotation groups, could you possibly write and let us know?

Activities recently taking place:

Rachael Huntley of GOA presented a lecture and tutorial on "Gene 
Ontology - classifying your protein list" for the joint 
EMBL-EBI/Wellcome Trust workshop "Proteomics Bioinformatics" held at 
EBI, Hinxton, U.K. on 8-12th December 2008.

PathEpigen - In November Ana Barat and colleagues visited GOA and the GO 
Editorial Office at the EBI to discuss annotation systems. They are 
making manual literature annotations with genes involved in cancer.

All outreach reports are available at:

Thanks,

Jennifer
