| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Interactions automatically downloaded to FTP every release? Yes
| |
− | *People should check their own curation data
| |
− | *Users query frequently?
| |
− | *Can WormMart work instead?
| |
− | *Ruihua - feature can be added
| |
− | *Todd - good to have pre-defined queries generated automatically
| |
− | *Parse/remove predicted interactions (400,000) from others during dump? Yes
| |

− | BioGRID
| |
− | *WormBase to BioGRID curation
| |
− | *Issues of mapping interaction types: WB -> BioGRID vs. BioGRID -> WB
| |
− | *Moving towards using WB interaction types
| |
− | *Definitions of our interaction types
| |
− | *Rose will propose to BioGRID community
| |
− | *Physical interactions - BioGRID has a better format
| |
− | **break physical interactions away from other interaction types?
| |
− | **Kimberly can propose changes to model: YH separate from other interactions?
| |
− | **Physical vs Genetic interactions? keep separate
| |
− | *We need an interaction ontology, of some sort
| |
− | *Who should Wei Wei contact, how to coordinate with Hinxton; getting data from FlyBase and SGD?
| |
− | **Automation?
| |
− | *Interaction pages - explain what the interaction is based on; provenance/reference
| |
− | *Gene Orienteer shows data, but user has to link out
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | WormBase IWM souvenir?
| |

| |
− | *Screen shield?
| |
− | *Complementary iPads? ;)
| |
− | *Antifungal socks? wristbands?
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | SPELL
| |
− | *new data doesn't load; problem runnning search engine; can load it on athena, not generalizable problem?
| |
− | *OS was not complete with an update; try again
| |
− | *two virtual machines working back and forth for support
| |
− | *how often is SPELL being used? log?; had 6-7 users within two weeks complaining of SPELL problems
| |
− | *Todd - can send Google analytic tool to put at bottom of page
| |
− | *Wen - SPELL testing server; official and mirror; want a separate testing server for new releases; mirror on athena (Wen's working machine); Raymond says don't want to attract users to that machine; WB's running SPELL on altair; heavily loaded and has had problems; relying on athena may be problematic
| |
− | *maybe we need analysis of all of our machines to see big picture; can we consolidate machines; make use of ones we have? If not we can get another machine.
| |
− | *what type of machine do we need?
| |
− | *Log of all machines with purchase date and functionality?
| |
− | *Linux vs Mac curators? athena development machine;
| |
− | *how much power do the scripts need? can check
| |
− | *may not be appropriate as official server if main machine goes down
| |
− | *WB and athena can run SPELL server, but not others. security problems?
| |
− | *prefer work machine is readily re-bootable; reconfigure software easily without affecting other things that people rely on
| |
− | *need 10GB space; 4GB memory? SPELL production server; want it stable for outside world; hardware designed for that purpose; farm it out to IMSS?
| |
− | *complexity of the application; Linux can run multiple applications; caprica has SVM production and WormMart; understand demand of the application; requirements; development vs running scripts, how often? Efficient use of machines. Have 2 computers, getting a third; for WormMart need power; traffic suddenly increased yesterday; monitor traffic; not much personal experience with server maintenance; cluster needs lots of expertise
| |
− | *building official sever of SPELL at OICR? Yes
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | WormMart
| |
− | *with WormMart and WormBase, people just want to know if it's down, just to know to lessen frustration; Official statement from dev team
| |
− | *WormMart - we give users testing url; can we just change WormBase link to that testing server?
| |
− | *going to change HTML to update users with most recent information; discuss with Lincoln, 5 datasets on testing server; remaining 3 datasets. if WormMart not working, put a message on main site
| |
− | *it doesn't look good to have a link to a tool linked from a production server; if we don't trust the data we shouldn't put it up.
| |
− | *would like to keep the html page as a testing server; could modify page
| |
− | *if WormMart is working OK but not perfect, that's OK; Comment in the banner
| |
− | *the html page is a useful tool to get feedback from users

− | CD/DVD burner not working (Wen)
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Build Scripts:
| |
− | *run @ OICR
| |
− | *dynamic/static files
| |
− | *problem: no one takes care of them
| |
− | *curators should claim them and take care of them
| |
− | **Gene interaction dump script claimed by Raymond and Xiaodong
| |
− | **256 interaction objects empty (should not be); emptied during build?
| |
− | *Monitor usage with new site
| |
− | *Files (like FASTA, GFF) should be immediately available to users
| |
− | *Page that links to the scripts (FTP)
| |
− | *Need to define what we should have (common datasets)
| |
− | **Example: Table with all genes, RNAi phenotype, genetic phenotype, etc.
| |
− | **How many genes have been knocked out by RNAi?, etc.
| |
− | **Metrics table on each species: #genes, #chromosomes, etc.
| |
− | *Curators think about what data should be available
| |
− | *Modifying existing script is easier than making new one
| |
− | *Gary Williams already generates RNAi-phenotype-gene connections?
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Snehal work half-time at WormBase?
| |
− | *Will interview
| |
− | *UI testing?
| |
− | *Curation? GO? Phenotype?
| |
− | *Start April 15th - 8 months? (Sept.) maybe longer
| |
− | *Focus on particular papers?
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Physical Interaction model
| |
− | *Have been discussing with Rose at BioGRID
| |
− | *Y2H, CoIPs, Pull downs, etc.
| |
− | *Store physical interactions in WB outside of GO curation
| |
− | *Data model
| |
− | **YH model vs Interaction model
| |
− | **Physical interaction tag in current interaction model unused
| |
− | **Generalize YH model -> physical interaction model
| |
− | **Add experiment types
| |
− | **Issue: what do we do with existing physical interaction tag in interaction model?
| |
− | **Split out different interaction types into individual classes?
| |
− | **Separate into physical, genetic, predicted classes? Textpresso?
| |
− | **Create separate classes for each experimental type? (Y2H, CoIP, etc.)
| |
− | **XREF Interaction to Physical interaction, Genetic interaction
| |
− | **Goal is for cleanliness and completeness
| |
− | **How to capture experimental-specific info in curation and database?
| |
− | **Suppress Y2H import from BioGRID?
| |
− | **Keep interaction models as they are?
| |
− | **All curators: Review interaction models to see what they want on the curation end
