Agenda

  1. Syncing of Westgrid and TACC data repositories - Mike G.
    1. Chris has posted all the latest assemblies to the mirror including: DAAD-Ardisia_revoluta, HWUP-Sabal_bermudana, LQGC-Phoenix_dactylifera
    2. blast analysis of the new data and the results should be posted to the mirror shortly
    3. n order to have more timely posting of new data to the TACC mirror, we need the westgrid folks to notify Chris Jordan when new data becomes available and provide him with the listing of the top level directories (e.g. LQGC-Phoenix_dactylifera/); otherwise, we need to crawl the westgrid server to determine what is new - this is time consuming and not the most effective
  2. New plans for BLAST and term search portals (e.g. AAGP BLAST and term search portals) - Jim, Raj
    1. Raj will initially set up the portals at UGA
    2. Next week Raj will have access to a  VM installation at TACC for for his database and search server. 
  3. Progress on processing individual assemblies - Norm, Mike B.
    1. Mike B. has worked out initial problems with some Traspipe translations.  Translations should be placed on TACC machine and Norm should have access to these files.
    2. Mike will make Ks plots and translations available to Eric  
  4. Sorting of unigene assemblies (HaMSTR) - Norm
  5. Preparations for running SATe - Jim
    1. SATe pipeline needs slight alteration to align aa's, force nucleotides on aa alignments and estimate trees on resulting nucleotide alignments.
    2. Otherwise, Tandy's lab is ready to go
  6. Google Exacycle program.
    1. We have lots of computational resource at TACC. Therefore we decided to wait on this
