SimpleMine output
- Wen was working on simplification of SimpleMine output
- Considering removing general terms in an ontology when more specific terms exist
- Concern that we would be removing information; will keep terms
SPELL topics
- Topics in SPELL need some organization, possibly trimming
- We could create a graph (SObA) display of topics (based on GO process)
SPELL problem with WS265
- Wen had to debug; SPELL has limit of how many genes can be processed per data set (46,340)
- Wen trying to accommodate, deleting some genes from data set that had no expression (kludge)
- Wen will write to Matt Hibbs to ask how to deal with
- Will Alliance work together on a system to analyze large scale expression data?
Curator candidate
- Will arrive at 10am
- Skype calls with remote curators
- Curators will send group Skype handle and requested time to talk

ECO terms for genome editing
- Asking group's feedback on ECO terms for genome editing (Daniela)
- What would be used for fly-enhancer trap experiment?
- Genomically encoded GFP, for example
- ECO: GFP localization
- ECO term, example: Fluorescent protein transcript localization evidence
- Single copy transgene? Endogenous locus?
- Whether it is CRISPR or not may not be relevant
- May request ECO terms that capture distinct types of transgenes evidence
- Will use generic term for now
- Do other MODs use ECO?
- May want to capture endogenous/non-endogenous, multi-copy/single-copy distinctions
- Many of these features are captured in the transgene and construct objects already; specific ECO code redundant?
ZFIN SAB
- Significant involvement in Alliance
- Interest in micropublications; will push a pilot
- June 19, moving from older DB to Postgres
- Investigating automation for some curation processes
- Students review which papers to include; acquire PDF
- Curate paper-by-paper
Alliance
- Supplement request for year 3, due soon (May 15)
- Formal report from NHGRI, 18-month plan looks good
- Further future plans (from NHGRI perspective) aren't quite clear
- Software infrastructure?
- Central- vs. MOD-control of resources questions
- Likely will have to write a NIH proposal in Fall or Winter
- How much is Alliance going to handle human variants?
Genome-wide screens
- Had help desk question about phenotypic screens in organisms other than worms, flies, yeast, bacteria
- There have been human cell line phenotypic screens (e.g. siRNA/shRNA); who curates these, if anyone?
- Also, induced pluripotent stem cell experiments
