Help desk issues

  • #8852 proceed to add in Wormbase entries a recent publication on these entries? - DONE
  • #8855 Back issues of the Worm Breeders Gazette
    • Todd and Karen will take care of this; decision was to contact libraries that take history of science related documents such as Cold Spring Harbor library and Caltech library. Consortium for History of Science: https://www.chstm.org/
  • #8856 How to query for temperature-sensitive mutants
    • Was asked before, the query exists and will be documented in GitHub; Wen will also run a script every build in order to include it in SimpleMine or as a standalone table.
  • #8857 How to find the inheritance patterns of the genes
    • Again, data resides under the phenotype info tag and can be queried, Chris G. will help the user

WormBase issue

  • Build WS287 continues - any items to highlight in the release letter?
    • Daniela will provide an update about the Waterson scRNASeq graphs. The pictures are already in ACeDB so just wait for the web display.
  • How to get researchers to cite the tools they use & publish? e.g. WBPS BioMart - could we add "Cite us" in the footer or something?
    • Users do not realize that they need to cite WormBase. How to remind them? Blog articles? Bigger fonts on the tools pages?
