Disease

Disease search

• Disease.ace file generated for addition to Xapian search system
• File in /usr/local/wormbase/databases/{RELEASE}/orthology and automatically generated by orthology data compile

Michael Paulini's development towards tighter disease incorporation

Responding to MP's notes

• mark the elegans/worm genes with omim ortholgs, as caltech is unable to query into the proteins (done by me and will be in ws227)
  • file with the associations available from the orthology data compile -- /usr/local/wormbase/databases/{RELEASE}/orthology/go_id2omim_ids.txt
  • details of this file documented in table: [[1]]

• put the omim descriptions into the database ... and I thought there of you and your flat files to get the data. That would end up in the accession numbers ... end they in turn would need some omim: prefix or so, as else their are just numbers
  • file with details of OMIM diseases available from the orthology data compile -- /usr/local/wormbase/databases/{RELEASE}/orthology/omim_id2disease_desc.txt
  • details of this file documented in table: [[2]]

• would be cool if the functinality of searching through omim descriptions and showing genes connected to diseases would reappear on the new site, but I don't know how, as acedb might be a bit slowish to search through the text (but maybe it is fast enough).
  • see note re: disease search above, generated file includes requested data

• the omim database record needs to be updated, as omim is now on www.omim.org (done by Mary Ann and will be in ws227). I don't know of it was one of our best ideas to put the urls into acedb, as it now takes two months to fix broken links, but then who cares.
  • caltech issue

• caltech needs to move their behinds and update their descriptions based on our omim data (will start prodding them after ws227)
  • see above, info available

• Show phenotypes of connected genes on the disease pages, as they might be handy
  • Can be done; data from the soon-to-be-deprecated CompileGeneResources has all necessary information -- /usr/local/wormbase/databases/{RELEASE}/gene

• Kev thought of creating a disease class instead of plunking it as text into the accession numbers. Especially since we cover plant and animal parasites in addition. (Good idea, but needs some more planning)
  • Would be great

Model

• adding PODs
• see Disease.pm

UI/test

• Testing

= Orthology

Model

• Information/Functionality incorporated into Gene Model; providing development support providing development support as WB2 moves forward

UI

• providing development support as WB2 moves forward

Paralog model additions for gene evolution

• paralog data being ported from classic site usr/local/wormbase/website/classic/cgi-perl/orthology/gene to Gene.pm

Paralog UI for gene evolution

• in planning stage
