Arthropod Genomics Research Working Group
Workshop Goals/Deliverables:
- Build tighter linkages and communication among ARS scientists involved in arthropod genomics research (AGR).
- Forge new collaborations within ARS by explicitly highlighting current and planned AGR within ARS.
- Define critical research gaps or strengths of AGR within ARS.
- Provide a clearer picture of current strengths and weaknesses within ARS relative to cyberinfrastructure, data storage, and analytical resources needed to accomplish ARS-wide goals with respect to AGR.
- Develop a better understanding of available bioinformatics resources (infrastructure and personnel) within ARS.
- Train participating ARS scientists in publicly available analysis tools (iPlant) that will facilitate research on high-throughput genomic data.
- Provide guidance and input for future bioinformatics training of ARS scientists.
- Define role for NAL in AGR in coordinating data standardization and database integration.
- Build roadmap to accomplish ARS-wide goals with respect to AGR.
- Plan movement towards integrative, multidisciplinary, and translational genomics.
