This includes this new class:

• For WS247, there is a new model for GO annotations that will allow us to have all GO curation in WormBase.

Minutes

Models

• 11 items on models update wiki
• Curators should check the wiki to double check
• GO curation model change
  • Many GO annotations that are submitted to the GO consortium but never made it to WormBase
  • New model change should accommodate this data in WormBase
  • A new class has been made for GO annotations
  • Kimberly posted link to web page describing the details
  • Will now have 1000's more GO annotations in WormBase
  • ?GO_term and ?GO_annotation will be separate classes with XREFs to each other
  • New GO annotation objects will get their own set of unique IDs
  • How will the IDs be generated? Will they be (can they be) stable? History tracking?
  • GO pipeline uses UniProts common annotation tool which outputs a GAF file
  • We parse the GAF file into a .ACE file
  • If IDs are not going to be stable, we need to make sure they don't become visible to users
  • Could be easier if we do not give them WBIDs but rather some unique serial number (numbers only) or prefix with the WS release number
  • In new database structure, these will likely not get names or IDs, just an internal identifier
• Paul Davis will tag the models tomorrow

Wnt Signaling topic blog post

• Chris will write something for WS246 release
• WS246 scheduled to go live at the end of December
