Subject: Opportunity to provide feedback: Open Meeting of the
Standards for Genetic Variation Working Group - July
18th (11 AM Eastern Time)
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2024 11:17:36 -0500
Hi All,
Please see the following opportunity to provide comment on the adoption of
genetic variation standards across agricultural plants & animals.
If you are unable to attend the call, there are opportunities to provide
feedback online using the links provided.
Regards,

Dear all,
The AgBioData Standards for Genetic Variation Working Group (SGV) is
preparing a white paper to support the adoption of rsIDs for agriculture and
seeks your valuable input and data to further our research efforts.
They invite the AgBioData community to join them on July 18 at 11:00 ET to
review the material and discuss collaboration opportunities. In particular,
the SGV is looking for the following information:
1. Genetic Markers Linked to Traits:
* A list of genetic markers associated with specific traits used by the
breeding and research community across various agricultural species,
including plants, animals, and insects. See an example
here https://tinyurl.com/2ynksf49
* Information on the species and traits these markers are linked to and the
methodologies/platforms employed for genotyping in your community.
2. Functional Validation and Fitness Outcomes:
* Examples of genetic variations that have been functionally validated,
including descriptions of the phenotypic differences these variations lead to
* Case studies or data demonstrating these genetic variations have resulted
in measurable fitness outcomes for the species in question.
* Information on related publications and any supporting data available.
* We would like to request examples from each of the different
species/database providers for review at the upcoming GV working group
meeting in July.
3. Standards and Data Access for Genetic & Phenotypic Variation:
FAIR/Interoperability
* Standard formats for exchanging information, identifiers, formats, and
controlled vocabulary on:
* Germplasm
* Genetic Variation
* Phenotypes
* Types of views and files provided for data access.
* Future targets for operating, displaying, or providing access to these data
types.
* Usage of rsIDs and potential barriers to their adoption in your resource.
* For more information on RSIDs, please look at the following document
RefSNPs: Clustered Variants https://tinyurl.com/2y3qo2mm
4. Collaboration Opportunities:
* Barriers encountered when working with these data types.
* Opportunities for collaboration or data standards, sharing, and
interoperability.
We really appreciate your support and look forward to your positive response
to the request for information in any of the four categories.
If you are willing to participate or are interested in contributing to our
initiative and would like to collaborate, please complete this form
(https://forms.gle/jcjWnLibHEKuESJe6) by July 16. We will follow up with you
with the Zoom link and other resources.
Best,
The AgBioData Standards for Genetic Variation WG
