Outstanding Help Desk Issues
- https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/5790

- https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/5755
- User asked about documentation on genome browser features, in particular about why some TF BS ChIP-Seq peaks are highlighted in orange and others are not. Do we have documentation describing the tracks, e.g. modENCODE tracks?
Minutes
Wormbase.com domain
- Available on marketplace, $20,000 (extortion?)
Outstanding help desk issues
- User wants to provide alternative splicing data
- User asking about TF binding site peak calls in modENCODE tracks in GBrowse; Scott will communicate with Gary W. and get back to user
modENCODE data
- Should WormBase provide authoritative info about modENCODE data? Something to consider
NAR paper
- Comes out once a year
- Downside: we need to pay for it each time
- Raymond's proposal: each of three WB sites contributes a portion of the paper, each with a point person/representative; three representatives coordinate writing the paper and act as first authors?
- Todd, Paul K.: maybe better to stick to a single lead author to have consistent voice
- Raymond: each site knows the new features and issues to bring up; could try as an experiment
- Lincoln: Worth experimenting, but should state deadlines early on in case the experiment doesn't work
- Raymond asking for first draft submissions by August 15th (paper submission deadline ~September 15th)
- Hinxton will discuss with Kevin when he is back; OICR will discuss
WormBase grant writing
- Paul S: people should consider what they're working on and write up page including current progress (numbers) and where we want to go in the future
- Will need to propose how we will integrate with AGR
