2017 Meetings
August 3, 2017
WB grant
- Progress (maintenance stuff) can be written as of last grant cycle
- Current projects and report the steady state
CRISPR alleles
- Some authors not reporting CRISPR alleles with standard nomenclature
- Some in Paul's lab creating same knockin with same name (should be distinct). Mary Ann to update nomenclature guidelines.
- Some (e.g. Bruce Bowerman) knock-in GFP in frame and use RNAi against GFP to knockdown endogenous gene
- RNAi mapping pipeline not setup to handle this
- Could maybe use endogenous sequence near insertion site (not ideal, for off-target effects)
- Maybe best, once new ?Phenotype_experiment model is in place, to just refer to perturbed gene
Ontology Browser
- Has been less stable lately; Raymond has needed to restart machine
- Being served from Dell server (in Braun building)
