Moore Notes 1 12 15

• Participants: Katie, Tom, Jonathan, Josh, Stacia, Patrick, Ladan, Stephen, Dongying, Guillaume

• Tom: update on ShotMap manuscript
  • Stephen editing now, Katie next
  • A few loose ends and figures to finish

• Stephen: Tara Oceans data (summary)
  • sent around slides, see above
  • found that the Tara Data was sitting in the NCBI SRA, first slide captures what is in SRA.
    • different studies come from different size fractions
    • don't know if all samples have all fractions conducted
    • Josh will take coordinates and map them out by study
  • Can we actually use this data? See the data release policy (slide 2)
    • All of the data in the SRA is free to download, but Tara website has this disclaimer
    • Can use samples one-year after submission without restriction, but not clear when submitted
      • JAE: If the data is in the SRA, then it follows the SRA guidelines.
    • Also, there are environmental covariates available for download at Pangaea.de
  • Some publications out there already: www.embl.de/tara-oceans/start/publications/index.html
  • How do we proceed from this position? This is probably the ideal data for the niche modeling project
    • First step is to QC the data and process it by classifying into protein families
    • We can at least start this process
    • Don't necessarily need to discuss our intentions with them
    • According to EBI, data looks to have been submitted a while back. Jonathan sending a link.
  • Need a meeting to discuss how to process this data
    • Consistency and standardization

• Jonathan: Moore foundation notes that some of the old CAMERA datasets will be managed by iMICROBE

• Ladan: Extreme sets (manuscript)
