PRO Consortium Workshop 2017
Date: October 11-12, 2017
Venue: Jackson Lab, Bar Habor, Maine
Goals and outcomes
The goals of this meeting are:
- 1. To contribute to the ontological understanding of phenotype and disease across organisms
- 2. To advance the treatment of protein-related clinical and translational data from the perspective of consistency, discoverability and support for diagnosis
- 3. To advance coordination between the Protein Ontology and other protein-related information resources
Desired outcomes are of two sorts:
- Relating to disease:
- We will seek greater clarity as to
- - how proteomic information in general and the PRO in particular can help us to understand the relationship between genotype and phenotype, for example in understanding disease etiology
- - which relations we should use in linking the protein entities represented in the PRO to disease entities
- - which are the important entities on the protein side that need to be linked
- Relating to PRO's interactions with external resources:
- UniProt: Draft of policies/recommendations regarding accession/site tracking for UniProt and PRO
- IntAct: Identify points of agreement and discrepancy in curation pipelines and resolve as appropriate. Reach agreements for example on reciprocal links and accession issues
