RNASeq Meta-Data for AGR

what are the plans?

  • The EWG (high-throughput) has been discussing what kind of meta-data information to include for AGR 3.0. We will probably finalize the information table next Monday. Here is the meta-data table that we are looking at:

Help Desk

  • Alaska memory bug?

Is there a link from WormBase to Alaska, and an announcement about its function?

WormBase resources for non-coding RNA

  • Is it possible that Hinxton gives Caltech a tutorial on what kind of curation and resources that WormBase has for non-coding RNA? It will be very helpful for us to answer help-desk questions and future on-site tutorials. A zoom meeting will be good.


Minutes

CalTech F2F meeting

  • Need PS for this, but not on the call

SAB:

  • Can teleconference for the grant and NIH

F2F:

  • What do people want? Project meeting?
  • AceDB datomic? - what do we want to do.

Doc for agenda/topics

RNASeq meta data

  • Mentioned in the DQM
  • currently curated at both HX and CalTech
    • Need to have a working procedure.
    • Been through the whole table...almost have finalised schema - would be good to have the schema in the database
    • Deadline for V3 was last friday, but poss can add data in.
    • Wen will comunicate with Hinxton.

Alaska

  • Project to J & Raymond working with Post Doc and UG student
  • Post Doc moved on not sure of student support
  • Not in state where WB can take it on?
  • WB only getting bugs as Joseph put help@wormbase.org as contact
  • Premature to release and link to WB.

RNA resources

Wen - added, not confident about answering HD issues. Chris will be giving a talk so background would be good.

HelpDesk questions should be answering by HX

  • Onsite meetings - Would be good to have knowledge provided to CalTech
  • Some summarisation in the grant application.
  • HX could create a tutorial with help from others about data mining etc.
  • Persue feedback to drill down
  • linking data types to references
  • Follow with a blog

Open Floor

Molecules

  • WormBase approached by Frank Schroeder + Others about having Molecules that don't have chemical structures

but do have Chem formula and retention times and MS peaks

  • Karen working with this
  • Molecule model update to store this.
  • PD will help with model
  • Retention times will need in-relation-to markers so all 4 groups will work from common protocols
  • Questions people will want to know is what is there in the rel retention range that has these peaks
  • People aren't going to synthesize and work out all 20k compounds
  • Storage 1st then mining and analysis tools.
  • Groups are competing so would be good for WB to bring data together

Widget feedback

  • Adam - Several widgets are being developed to replace existing function
  • Homology
  • more widgets

To make comments on open tickets on the github for these.
