  • We will continue to maintain and improve the existing pipeline for automated gene descriptions, improvements include including new data in the descriptions such as pathway information, thus providing a more complete picture of gene function
  • We will work on retiring the current WormBase pipeline to consolidate and unify the software for C. elegans gene descriptions as currently users see different descriptions at the Alliance and WormBase for the same gene. The current pipeline at the Alliance for generating gene descriptions is based on the one that has been used at WormBase developed in ??
  • We will explore a new algorithm/technology to generate gene descriptions as this will also benefit the project at the Alliance of Genome Resources for the 6 other species
  • We also generate and maintain gene descriptions for 9 other species such as C. briggsae, a sister species important in evolutionary studies and parasitic species relevant to human health such as..... Currently the majority of the data for these species is predicted data based on computational data such as InterPro2GO. We will collaborate with these smaller communities to explore funding and build experimental data that could be included in gene descriptions, we will work and explore funding in collaboration and seek these communities to get their experimental data into WB, the data would then be picked up by the gene descriptions pipeline
