The Phylogenomics working group led by Darren Crayn has been meeting regularly to tease out the various approaches that can be undertaken by the project.
The Bioinformatics (pilot genomes) working group led by Anna Syme has been meeting once a month to discuss the tools and compute requirements for the 3 pilot reference genome projects. The long term compute requirements for the initiative and best sequencing approaches for the pilot reference genomes are also being considered.
