The Fourth Annual Summit of the Phenotype Ontology Research Coordination Network will focus on Environment and Phenotype and will be held at the University of Arizonas Biosphere2 about 40 miles north of Tucson, AZ, from February 21-23, 2014 (Friday through Sunday noon). The overall goal of the RCN s Fourth Annual Summit is to introduce scientists from different research backgrounds and establish communication among them. By popular demand, the theme for this meeting is representing environment in relation to phenotype using ontologies. Our goals and activities will focus on 1) the status of environment ontologies: How many, how to improve; Do we need a single environmental ontology? 2) Who is using these ontologies now? What are the use cases? 3) How to include environment in annotations of phenotypes? and 4) How to represent population-level phenotypes with ontologies? We estimate that the costs for this meeting (transportation to meeting from airport, lodging, food) will be approximately $500, though we will be able to cover expenses for a small number of participants, particularly students and postdocs who have specific interests in using phenotypic data associated with environment in their research. Please contact one of us if you are interested in attending - it should be a great meeting!
