Mon 31mar14
  1. T3 wheat GBS. Lynn provided list of 60 germplasm lines that have
not been loaded into T3 and should be removed from genotype results
file.
     Jessie Poland uses "H" for heterozygous - The import scripts has
been changed to accept this.
     *JL We need to decide what rule we will use first. Try extended
Illumina rule
     Eduard Akhunov - coordinate file from Shichen Wang. The alternate
allele has 2 values for 10% of the data. Should this be stored in the
database as is, changed to ambiguity code, or disregarded as bad data?
***D Dave M. will email Eduard to get more information
     HWW ‚Äì Test checking for synonyms (Vic)
     **CB change summary into a 2x2 table (name match, seq match) (in
db, not in db), add download button for large imports
     genotype results import is now quick for new data. I also have new
tool to check import file before loading. This will quickly tell you if
required lines or markers are have not been loaded.
     **CB combine verification step into first stage of import
  2. Automatic validation of marker data, what do we want?
  3. Status of Peter Morrell annotations.  We received annotations once
upon a time, and work has been done to integrate them as marker
properties.  Do we have a regular pipeline to do this kind of think when
new markers come in?  What is the integration with GrainGenes, which (I
think) should store these annotations?
  4. T3 Oat
     field layout import? not many trials have field information, when we
have the resources we can work on this
     when more than one observation were provided for a given line of a
given trait (e.g., day to heading is "71/88" for "Florida 167"), would
you assign it as missing or keep it as is?
     Known erroneous observations were discarded (kg/ha converted from
bu/a); correct conversion will be input into access database
(COOL_CORE).
     Revisiting observations in the database: remove unnecessary ones
and convert some of them (if applicable) to meaningful one.

   5. Can we add new hard drive to malt machine? I have had to disable
the updating of the sandbox websites because there is not enough disk
space on the malt machine. Dave H will work on this
   6. Email broken on malt, wheat, and tcap machines. Can we setup a
commercial service?
