PRO Consortium Workshop 2017
Date: October 11-12, 2017
Venue: Atlantic Oceanside Hotel, Bar Harbor, MN
Goals
The goals of this meeting are:
- 1. To review the current state of the Protein Ontology and its relation to other protein-related information resources, especially UniProt and GO
- 2. To assess progress in the use of advanced computational techniques, including Natural Language Processing, in the development of the PRO
- 3. To examine the actual and potential contribution of PRO to the understanding of disease across organisms
- 4. To review PRO's role in the field of immunology informatics
- 5. To advance the treatment of protein-related clinical and translational data from the perspective of consistency, discoverability and support for diagnosis
- 6. To evaluate competing approaches to PRO annotation
