New types of Gene Ids
- Gene Ids of type 'PRJEB28388_chrIII_pilon.g6753' are causing problems for the WS270 run of the gene descriptions pipeline
- How do we handle these, or can they be ignored?
Meeting Abstracts
- International meeting abstracts are always included in WB (reliable file format, i.e. easily parsed)
- Regional and topical meeting abstracts are no longer included as the file formats (and sometimes permissions) are inconsistent and not easily parsed
- Sometimes users want search access to the regional and topical meeting abstracts and/or want to include them on their Person report pages
- Possible solutions:
- Provide a form for upload
- Would need to check for potential dups
- Assume that abstracts weren't modified post-submission
- Possible issues with permissions?
- Could input more than just regional/topical meetings (e.g. ASCB meeting)
- Advertise acceptable file format (i.e. international meeting format) and be more proactive about trying to get regional/topical meeting organizers to generate files in this format
- Other options?
- Provide a form for upload
- What should be included in Textpresso Central?
WB workshop at IWM 2019
- WormBase workshop: WB tools-SimpleMine, RNA seq related tools, SoBA, WoBR,
- WormMine and JBrowse workshop
Minutes
- Gene IDs issue seems to be resolved
- Hinxton to make code change to remove the problem IDs from the production files.
- Meeting Abstracts
- Worm board could set a requirement for worm meeting organisers to allow WormBase to use them.
- Work closer with organising groups to get the data in a format that we need.
As soon as we get a meeting announcement we should contact to try and make things easier. Abstract platform provided by WormBase? - Raymond/JC Different meetings have different systems that are rolled into the reg and payment process.
