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
The future development of PRO and of PRO’s role in the Alliance of Genome Resources
Use of Noctua for GO annotation, use of PRO in Noctua
Benefits and limitations of PRO
PRO and PTM knowledge networks
Developing PROs scope for annotating diseases
