Dear all SPLICE advisory board members,
The agenda for our meeting next Wednesday is as follows:
1. Intro
2. Sequence sanitisation and data quality flags
3. Sequence search
4. Filters and facets
5. FASTA download format
6. Global molecular operational taxonomic units
Point 2-5 focus on WP1: Sequence indexing and search infrastructure and point 6 relates to WP4: Develop new global molecular operational taxonomic units.
Remember the two open calls that we hope you will share with your networks if you haven’t already (both with a deadline of 3 August 2026):
* The first call is inviting organisations to develop or improve high-throughput publishing workflows for DNA-derived biodiversity data. Up to €20,000 per project is available. https://www.gbif.org/news/7guF70Z6tLLCXXt00cCHzB/call-for-proposals-buildin….
* The other call is about preparing reference databases for GBIF publication. Up to €10,000 per project is available https://www.gbif.org/news/32HzHqMJTZ9ya3Z8TmVLrE/call-for-proposals-prepari…. The aim here is wider exposure of reference databases, citation tracking, but also to make the reference database available for the continuous taxonomic reinterpretation that GBIF aim to develop
Kind regards
Thomas, Tobias, and Cecilie
