WBConfCall 2017-09-21-Agenda and Minutes

Minutes

• Grant
  • On track. Will be pulled of Gdocs today to format, references etc.
  • People generally positive about the treatment of AGR
  • People also felt that the app shows sufficient innovation

• modENCODE tracks
  • Some of the modENCODE tracks mapped to wrong assembly and potentially superseded by new data
  • Proposal: create a JBrowse on the old assembly, and put the old modENCODE tracks there
    • Survey people to find out if anyone actually uses these tracks

• Regulatory features
  • Issue one: TF binding site features are not associated with genes
  • Issue two: they have opaque WBsf ids
  • Proposal: implement a method to associated TF binding site features with genes and give them human-readable names
    • Names possibly based on genes either side of the feature
  • Chris will push forward with this an bring others in where appropriate
