Agenda
This workshop oriented around SRI's Pathway Tools software and BioCyc
Database Collection will explore pathway bioinformatics and
Pathway/Genome Databases.
The workshop will combine formal presentations by groups outside SRI International
-- both invited speakers and speakers selected through an
abstract-submission process (see below), tutorials by SRI International staff, and a
hackathon. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Share expertise on how to develop a new organism-specific database
with Pathway Tools, both from a technical perspective, and a logistical perspective
(exploring issues such as attracting support and cooperation from the scientific community
for that organism, and securing funding).
- Present new scientific results achieved with Pathway Tools and
BioCyc.
- Share experiences on how to make the most of Pathway Tools.
- Presentations by users on extensions they have developed
to the software.
- Presentations by SRI International on recent and planned developments to
the software, and on software APIs and database schema, to
educate users on how to compute with PGDBs.
- Discussions of requested future enhancements to Pathway Tools and
BioCyc
- Ideas for other software tools to integrate with Pathway Tools
- Group development of new Pathway Tools enhancements
Should you wish to make a presentation at the meeting, please submit
