@endelman to keep us updated on USDA proposal to update poly tools

USDA proposal on Tools for Polyploids was not successfully submitted due to the software/internet error, and the appeal was denied by USDA. Can resubmit next year

@Umesh Rosyara to look at CGIAR funding that could be used to upgrade tools

Eng had suggested End to Crop Hunger (EtCH) funding but this has to be accessed via EiB. Individual projects like GOBii cannot request funding from EiB. Need for upgrading polyploid tools, data management and analytics needs to come from CGIAR breeding improvement plans. CIP = John Shoper submitted plan. Any other funding opportunities?

@eng to follow up with vendors on sequencing levels required for polyploids, associated costs, and vendor formats for delivering data - ask Andjrez to join a future meeting

@Lindsay Clark to include polyploid group in ploidyverse community

Done - not getting notifications though?

@Elizabeth Jones to follow up on data storage formats for each crop and design solutions, within 1 year

@Ranjana Bhattacharjee to follow up with Marcelo on using SuperMASSA to predict ploidy in yam

@Trushar Shah to follow up with Marcelo on using tools for triploid banana

@Elizabeth Jones to follow up with Kelly on common storage location for polyploid tools and possibly funding to develop interfaces eg like HIDAP - have asked Sam at EiB for help

@Elizabeth Jones to engage community through slack

@Elizabeth Jones to add RTB/Next-gen community to Slack and Confluence - done - added Titima fro NGC

@Elizabeth Jones to start collating tools in Confluence for now

@all to reach out to contacts to find resources for next meeting RTB? in Brazil?

Action items

@Elizabeth Jones to follow up with EiB module 5 about testing application of Globus for data sharing

@Elizabeth Jones to ask Andrzej to a future polyploid meeting, and follow up on DArT potato project

@Hannele Lindqvist-Kreuze and @Umesh Rosyara to follow up with their breeding optimization plan contacts to see if data management and analytics are included (@Trushar Shah too!)
