Agenda & Minutes

All questions addressed.

Caltech data freeze on 1/7/2025. Hinxton will start the WS296 build on 1/13/2025

In the ?GO_annotation model, I've proposed to change the ?Text field in the Annotation_extension_relation fields to an ?RO_term. (Kimberly)
- https://github.com/WormBase/wormbase-pipeline/issues/271
- This may require changes to the annotation extensions display in the GO widget.
- Paolo and Todd - would you like a separate ticket for the web display work?
Will also need to add Xenbase ?Database object and a new ?Analysis object for ComplexPortal
Stavros will release a WS296 schema on 12/19. Wen will swap citace on 12/20 so Caltech can use the new schema to test their ace files.
Caltech need to submit Analysis objects to geneace because Analysis is not dumped from citace.
