Help Desk

Models for WS250

The following Models have been proposaed and are in a pretty good state to go in for WS250.

Plan is to incorporate changes into CVS today.......I will email out a link once done. If curators could take a look to make sure they are happy with the incorporation. WS250 models will then be tagged Friday afternoon (HX) Friday AM (CA).

GO_term Model change - Kimberly
--------------------

1) Remove the Term tag.  The name of the GO_term would be populated in the
Name tag.  This change will have downstream effects for the build and web
display.

2) Add an Alt_id tag to populate secondary IDs as listed in the GO obo
file.  This would allow anyone searching WB with a secondary, or
alternate, GO ID to still arrive at the correct GO_term page.

3) Although this doesn't affect any tags in the model, starting with WS250
we will populate the Version tag with the information in the
'data-version:' tag in the obo file, not the 'remark' tag that holds the
SVN revision number.  All terms have the Version tag populated, so we
should remove the comment in the ?GO_term model about version only being
stored on the 3 parent terms.

4) Version
Version UNIQUE Text UNIQUE Text // Lincoln, to store version number of GO

to

Version UNIQUE Text // store "Gene Ontology releases/2015-06-13" as single value.



GO_annotation mods - Thomas.
------------------
Thomas input suggests: UNIQUE for single value (most notable Gene, GO_Term, and GO_Code)
Kimberly: I agree that we could add UNIQUE constraints to Gene, GO_term, and
GO_code.  We could probably also add the UNIQUE constraint to Reference
and GO_reference as well as Contributed_by and Date_last_updated.

Survey

  • Will be launched at meeting and run through the summer (to end of Aug?). PS to mention in plenary talk.
  • Todd requests that staff look at survey and add new questions. Staff should not move things around too much, as reorganisation will be done once the survey is nearly completed.
  • Survey has pages - the website, biographical info (level of position, location, research interests, how often site used), asks what our curation priorities should be. Curators from each data type should look at "their" sections. TH working on website and outreach sections. Useful to know e.g. do people know how often we release data.
  • We will not be embracing a subscription model for WB so survey should not have questions about funding.
  • Make questions about species higher profile.
  • Community curation will be added to raise awareness.
  • Website questions - speed, ease of finding info, how to do difficult tasks, proposed new features
  • Which MOD has best features (analysis, browsers).
  • Will will display link in workshop
  • Karen has a GSA markup survey. Should be possible to add to Todd's survey. 6 questions. Karen to send link to Todd. Will be promoted from GSA booth

Models

  • Let Paul know if OK.
  • Problems with antibody class.
  • Changes committed after call and tagged 19-June

AOB

  • Next upload 10th July

Track Hub

  • we got an UCSC assembly / track hub ready for testing at: http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/wormbase/releases/current-productionrelease/COMPARATIVE_ANALYSIS/hub/hub.txt
  • It contains WS245 and WS248 gene models, as well as cDNA alignments and repeats. In addition is shows 29-way multiple alignments between the genomes of WormBase (WS248) based on progressive cactus. And for demonstration purposes additional tracks showing the depth of alignment from the raw output, evolutionary pressure from phyloP and conservation probabilities from phastCons.
  • It would be great, if there would be some people testing it, as we found quite a few problems attaching it to Ensembl sites (with our changes/improvements going into the next E! code release). We managed to get the latest EG release to use them, so you can try the EG metazoa site for testing.
