Working with many groups on large and small genomes, a number of problems come up--especially when working with unfinished genomes, and trying to capture and share knowledge about that genome.
In his keynote address, Ouellette discusses some of the challenges in going whole genome annotation on genome. He considers large players (like EBI and NCBI), how resources can be used in a better way to minimize repetitive work and maximize throughput, the presentation of the best possible "answer" about a given genome, and how to take full advantage of all the work done worldwide.
