Congratulations to Pascal Carme this year’s Excellence in Biocuration Early Career award recipient!
Pascal Carme has been a curator at PomBase for only just over 2 years, but he has quickly established himself as a critical member of the PomBase team. Since joining, he has taken on a substantial share of the community curation review workload, and is now the primary developer of the fission yeast phenotype ontology (FYPO). He is a major contributor to our GO-CAM modelling projects, having created or contributed to more than 50 pathway models. He has also supervised undergraduate students at UCL on GO-CAM modelling projects. He is responsible for the technical review of PomBase micropublications. He also manages the hosting of sequence-based datasets in JBrowse. Pascal has developed a series of outreach seminars, “Just One Thing”, presented through the Pombe Talks seminar series. These sessions highlight specific PomBase features and help users make more effective use of the resource, covering topics such as ontologies, GO-CAMs, and search functionality. He was the lead author of the recent PomBase resource update in Genetics journal.
