[Obo-envo] CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: METAGENOMICS, METADATA AND METAANALYSIS

[Norman M. <mor...@cs...>]

Hi All,

I've had a gentle reminder that the deadline for abstracts for this 
meeting is today! I think it would be good to submit a poster abstract 
to this SIG, but just wanted to check there was a general agreement?

It would probably be best to do something along the lines of the 
benefits of annotating (meta)genome databases with EnvO + GAZ (for 
example including the GSC case study, GOLD and StrainInfo).

Cheers,
Norman
