Main goals:
-
Cataloging existing gene identifier nomenclature systems and genome assembly QC metrics.
-
Surveying major stakeholders to understand current challenges and potential solutions toward a standard gene ID nomenclature system and guidelines for acceptable/minimum genome assembly metrics before genome publications.
-
Begin drafting a white paper describing the current status, challenges, and recommendations for standard nomenclature and genome assembly quality control metrics.
Time a member dedicates to this working group on average (including meetings and assigned tasks):
-
2-4 hours per month.
Benefits of joining this working group:
-
