NEW TRACK:

RNAseq combined and recapped, coverage view - an even more reduced combined coverage view of ALL the 62 RNAseq tracks that resulted from sequential rounds of capping and merging instead of individual capping and then final merging (the scale bars will be different and more lowly expressed RNAseq reads will be more visible

NEW TRACKS:

1. RNAseq combined, coverage view - combined coverage view of ALL the 62 RNAseq tracks, partially filtered to remove alignments with extra long introns and with excessive coverage in certain regions capped to 200.
   
2. RNAseq capped and merged, reads - individual reads of all files that were not able to be filtered but were individually capped at 200 and then merged.
3. RNAseq filtered capped and merged, reads - individual reads of all files that were individually filtered, then capped at 200, and then merged.
   

Plant Biology 2023 in Savannah, GA: Plant Bioinformatics Resources for FAIR Agricultural Data Discovery and Reuse workshop (10:30 am - 12:30 pm)

Update on the reannotation effort included in the TAIR presentation

1. over 300 genes have been started, about 70 are done
2. 4 office hours held (Wednesdays by Slack)
3. discussions going on in Slack
   1. what to do with insertion of mt sequence in chr2 - annotate genes or not?
   2. should we have a scoring system for genes?
   3. new track suggestions
      1. PFAM domains  - community suggested, created, and loaded
      2. PANTHER families - community suggested, created, and loaded
   4. track metadata table available in Apollo Tips
