Wishing all fellow ontologists and their near and dear ones a wonderful #holidayseason #MerryChristmas and a #HappyNewYear2019 #Ontology #icbo2019 Lets continue to help make this a #healthyplanet breed #healthycrops have #foodsecurity #nutrition and share #love for everyone.

Excellent publication on QTLTableMiner++ for mining #QTL data from tables reported in published literature ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… and semantically annotating with @Planteome reference and crop #ontology @GrameneDatabase @solgenomics

Open data, open curation "@ScientificData has released a series of templates designed to help authors further engage with, and enhance, our #metadata creation process." nature.com/articles/sdata… -- Excited to see how this can help metadata curation within AgBioData.org!

WikiPathways Summit 2018 starts today! This event celebrates 10 years of collaboration and dedication to improving access to pathway information for biomedical research. @WikiPathways #WP18Summit gladstone.org/WP18Summit

Ben Dalziel @OregonState @OSUIB lead author & #ICBO2016 invited speaker published @sciencemagazine article on modeling #flu #epidemics & correlation of city size vs #environment #humidity science.sciencemag.org/content/362/64… #smallcities see short #largecities longer season #BigData #ontology

Encouraging all researchers and #biocurators working on Pathway and gene network datasets to Check out the @WikiPathways Summit! @biocurator @GrameneDatabase @NDExProject @reactome @intact_project @AgBioData @BioCyc #plantreactome @gmodproject @UCLgene @news4go

Delighted to announce the 2018 @RockefellerUniv Faculty Open Search, which I have the honor of chairing Application portal open: August 15th (tomorrow) rockefeller.edu/our-scientists… Closing Date: October 1st Spread the word and good luck!

Great insights into the planet's thawing #permafrost and the #microbial #cryosphere at #ISME17 "AS14 - Frontiers of soil microbial ecology" Pinging @envoTweets & @sdgOntology : let's get this knowledge in our cryosphere knowledge graphs

Wheat is on the cover of Science @sciencemagazine this week with the publication of the IWGSC reference sequence of the bread wheat genome wheatgenome.org/News/Press-rel…

Also learned @ICBOconf: #OntologyDebugging/#OntologyQA *is* highly relevant + there is still much work to do in this area. But, what you can already do to fix bugs (inconsistency/unsat. classes/wrong inferences) is to try the #OntoDebug #Protege #plugin (isbi.aau.at/ontodebug)

Another great source describing which techniques/best practices there are to get your ontology debugged is the blog of @chrismungall which also points you to several other interesting works. #OntologyDebugging #Ontologies #OntologyQA @ICBOconf

@nature Great work. But again the wrong choice of words 'expression'. The method and data is telling about 'abundance' and not just expression. Sampled RNA has undergone many events from transcription & post transcription processing & intercellular transport. it's not just expression.

News & Views: A method has been developed to infer whether the expression of each gene in a single cell is increasing or decreasing, and at what rate, using RNA-sequencing data. This tool has many potential applications and is described in Nature go.nature.com/2M3eK1U
