* Pristionchus: Talk to Ralf Sommer and see if wee can take some of the pristionchus.org data into WB -> Ranjana
 
−
* Brainstorm on how wee can utilize other species data -> may be a separate grant
 
−
* remanei (4 genome versions) and briggsae (3 genome versions) problem -> several versions of the genome. Same problem in parasite. Will need to address in the future. Want to have multiple sequence alignments so researchers can compare different versions.

== Reference and Person Evidence ==
 
−
* We need to know how best to move forward with ?Reference and ?Person evidence in the context of data exchange between WB and the Alliance
 
−
* Does A-team need to connect those WB Persons to be able to populate data in the Alliance curation db ? 
 
−
** If so, can it wait until we have proper persons ? 
 
−
** If not, when we have persons later will the data be reconnected to Person objects ?
 
−
* Where does data come from, which we call Person_evidence ?  Some forms ?  Direct emails ?  Other sources ? 
 
−
* For author curation/verification, what evidence do we want to use?
 
−
* Can we create Paper objects for the actual emails or other forms of communication (figure out details of when and what requirements), but keep Person_evidence for form submissions ?
 
−
* How much will it muddy things to create Paper objects for emails, e.g. how will it affect NLP downstream, do we need PDFs ?
 
−
* If we create personal communication References at Alliance only do we also want them as WBPapers, or will we just keep ?Person evidence at WB?
 
−
* Are we okay with conflating Person data and Paper data in Reference at the Alliance.  That is, duplicating the same data as a Person and as a Reference.

 +
* The paper conducts an analysis of natural variations within 48 wild isolates. To enhance the reliability of the variant set, I utilized the latest variant calling methods along with a custom filtering approach. The resulting dataset comprises 1,957,683 unique variants identified using Clair3. Additionally, Sniffles2 was used to identify indels of >30 bp, which numbered in the thousands to tens of thousands for most wild isolates. It is worth noting that variants identified with Sniffles2 have less reliable nucleotide positions in the genome.
  
 +
* I am reaching out to inquire whether WormBase would be interested in incorporating this dataset. An argument in favor is the higher quality of my data. However, I am mindful of the potential substantial effort involved for WormBase, and it is unclear whether this aligns with your priorities.
  
 +
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
