First FaceBase Bootcamp for Data Submitters on July 22nd (08 June 2020)
We are inviting all craniofacial researchers who are interested in submitting data to the FaceBase website to join us for the first FaceBase Bootcamp for Data Submitters.
Our original intention was to be able to provide travel funding for labs to send data submitters for first hand training. Due to the Covid-19 we weren’t able to do so this year (sign up for a FaceBase account to be notified about such opportunities in 2021!) we have decided to hold this bootcamp virtually.
When?
Wednesday July 22, 2020
9am to 2pm Pacific / Noon to 5pm Eastern
Where?
ZOOM (details will be emailed to registrants) with replay videos available after the event
What?
Two-part agenda:
- Overview submission and curation process; applying data model concepts; how to install tools,
- Hands on tutorial with sample data (sequencing and imaging), hands on exercises and Q&A for your own data.

FaceBase at the Gordon Conference (05 March 2020)
Members of the FaceBase Hub attended the 2020 “Craniofacial Morphogenesis and Tissue Regeneration” Gordon Research Conference in Lucca (Barga) Italy last week and talked to many FaceBase users who were interested in using and submitting data.
PIs, Yang Chai and Carl Kesselman, along with data project leader, Rob Schuler, attended this prestigious annual meeting typically attended by graduate students, post-docs, and young career scientists as a breeding ground for sharing information and innovative ideas in the craniofacial research domain.
Chai, Kesselman and Schuler had the opportunity to interact with many FaceBase users who were enthusiastic in learning about how to submit data to the repository, provided positive feedback and shared interesting ideas for presenting our data.
The Hub also hosted an information session that was highly attended and very interactive. You can access the presentation here.
