• Stephen
  • Functional annotations of Sfams
  • Working on building hMMs for keg orthology groups. Still going on.
  • Will be sharing his observations regarding LAST and low similarity "hits"
• Dongying
  • Map Marker families to Sfams
  • 40 markers are spread out into multiple Sfam families
  • Multiple mapping issues.
  • Most marker families are mapping to 2 Sfams. Thinking 1 is bacteria and 1 is archea
    1. 5 is mapping to 6 families
    2. 39 maps to 6.
  • Mapping done by Consensus sequence of each marker search against the Sfams.
  • Use the Sfams to refine the marker family building.
  • Is it worth looking at alignment length? (Stephen)
    • Stephen has noticed Sfams being split due to their alignment length

• Josh : will be presenting his work for the Eisenlab on July 23rd.
• Guillaume : No update
