May 2, 2013

Intermine

  • Google Doc for collecting questions, comments and data here
  • Example queries/questions
    • How to get GO terms for a list of genes?
    • Check FlyMine as a positive control (for functionality and templates)


International Worm Meeting

  • Souvenirs: espresso cups!
  • Posters
    • We will generate templates for posters and send around
    • We can't/won't get the extra space we hoped to get, as of right now
    • Will have to put posters in their designated locations, unless something changes


Computers

  • Do we need new computers? Could order by June
  • Spica getting old
  • Elbrus? Tenaya?
  • New server?
  • Postgres backup? Currently on external hard drives. Amazon backup? Network hard drives?
  • On tazendra, users can store files on /home2
  • Mac users have local backup (Time Machine); critical content should be backed up elsewhere also, perhaps


May 9, 2013

Handling Dead Genes

  • Dumping process changes outlined here
  • Will get sorted out before the WS239 upload
  • Chris will begin with Juancarlos


IWM Preparations

  • Workshops
    • WormMine
      • Needs testing
      • Regular conference call 9:30am PDT every Thursday (when no 8:30 international conference call)
      • Also conference call after every international conference call
        • Documentation
          • JD started a Wiki Page for documentation
          • Testing documentation on Wiki here
  • Posters
    • Need a template
    • Text and figures can be assembled in meantime
  • Souvernirs
    • Espresso cups
    • Need a logo: worm shape with "WormBase" above/below it


WormBase Outreach YouTube Channel

  • Mac users can upload directly from Quicktime
  • Can capture tutorials in response to user requests as well as for upcoming IWM Workshops
  • YouTube account name: outreach@wormbase.org


Next citace upload

  • By 10am on Friday June 21st, 2013


AMIGO2

  • Slowly progressing at core development side
  • Raymond & Juancarlos working on incorporation of AMIGO2 into WormBase
  • Eventually we will embed AMIGO2 features into WormBase pages


May 16, 2013

New server

  • Raymond ordered a new server computer
  • Should be able to support services currently run on older hardware (e.g. Spica)
  • Will (physically) live in the server room
  • 2 cpus, 64 GB RAM
  • Name? WormBase? WormBase 1?


WormMine Tutorial

  • Next Wednesday, May 22, 2013 12pm
  • Additional tutorial Friday at 2pm


WormMine

  • Problem: many genes are in intermine only as UniProt IDs from the GO Gene Association File (GAF)
  • We either want to:
    • 1. Remove these (UniProt-based) gene entries entirely OR
    • 2. Keep the gene entries, change the UniProt IDs to WBGene IDs, and pull in the "Assigned By" field from the GO GAF to appropriately attribute UniProt as the source for relevant GO Annotations
  • GO pipeline still in flux, so we will have to wait until that is settled before we establish a long term pipeline for this
  • GO Policy: Every MOD is responsible for their respective organism's GAF
  • We rely on Protein-to-GO annotation/mapping followed by Protein-to-Gene mapping
