RCN for Genomic and Metagenomic Standards

加州大学圣地亚哥分校获得一笔赠款，用于建立一个研究协调网络，以促进和整合国际社会内的基因组和宏基因组数据和元数据标准。该网络以现有的基因组标准联盟为基础，并将在该奖项下扩展到包括生态数据标准，如生态元数据语言，生物多样性标准，如达尔文核心，以及环境研究计划，如全球湖泊生态观测网络和长期生态研究。基因组研究已经改变了从分子到生态系统的整个尺度的生物科学。扩大并充分纳入早期共识建设、技术标准和基因组标准联盟启发和实施的机构承诺，为基因组标准联盟创建这一RCN（RCN 4GSC）将确保全球社区驱动的进程，以建立电子获取基因组数据的标准化机制，并获得参与意愿;这对于确保有效利用序列和相关数据、为所有生物学家提供获取所有信息的途径以及创造跨学科的发现机会至关重要。 围绕GCDML、Genome Rosetta Stone和Genome Catalogue的成熟展开的密切合作将是早期的重点。生产力将通过日常的A. V.和网络互动全年保持，包括小型工作组会议和通过RCN现有的网络中心http://gensc.org进行合作。这些活动将扩大实施所需的持续协调，包括基因组目录，GCDML，基因组Rosetta Stone软件，Atriat-Lite和环境本体论，以及电子期刊“基因组科学标准”。区域网络还将维持和加强长期应急措施和全球安全合作之间非常积极、持续的双向交流，即共同目标所产生的互动。RCN 4GSC将是一个开放的组织，欢迎致力于社区服务的生物学家，并将增加来自亚洲和美国的参与。扩大参与的战略包括与专业协会协调以及与联邦和基金会利益攸关方的沟通;这些将由沟通委员会管理，该委员会将侧重于在参与和接触年轻生物学家方面争取更多的多样性。

The University of California-San Diego is awarded a grant to create a research coordination network to promote and integrate standards for genomic and metagenomic data and metadata within an international community. The network is based on the existing Genomic Standard Consortium and will be extended under this award to include ecological data standards such as Ecological Metadata Language, biodiversity standards such as Darwin Core, and environmental research programs such as the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network and Long Term Ecological Research. Genome enabled research has transformed biological sciences for the entire breadth of scales from molecular to ecosystems. Expanding and fully incorporating early consensus building, technical standards and the institutional commitments inspired and implemented by the Genomic Standards Consortium, the creation of this RCN for the Genome Standards Consortium (RCN4GSC) will ensure a worldwide, community driven process for establishing standardized mechanisms for the electronic capture of genomic data and for obtaining willingness to participate; these are essential to ensure effective use of the sequence and associated data, to provide access for all biologists to all of the information, and to create interdisciplinary opportunities for discovery. Intense collaborations around the maturation of GCDML, Genome Rosetta Stone and the Genome Catalogue will be an early focus. Productivity will be sustained year round by routine A.V. and web-enabled interactions, including small working group sessions and collaborations via the RCN's extant web hub at http://gensc.org. The activities will expand ongoing coordination required for implementation, including the Genome Catalog, GCDML, Genome Rosetta Stone software, Habitat-Lite and Environmental Ontology, and the eJournal "Standards in Genomic Sciences". The RCN will also sustain and build upon the very active, ongoing, two-way exchange between LTER and GSC, interactions arising from common goals. The RCN4GSC will be an open organization, welcoming inspired biologists with a commitment to community service, and will increase participation from Asia and the USA. Coordination with professional societies and communication to federal and foundation stakeholders will be among strategies for expanding participation; these will be managed by the Communications Committee, who will focus on enlisting further diversity in participation and in reaching out to young biologists.
