SPELL

  • Wen contacted Matt Hibbs
  • Matt will not maintain SPELL in near future
  • Undergrad at Caltech to maintain/upgrade (Ruby 2 -> Ruby 3)?
  • Connect Matt with undergrad (work study?)
  • Cynthia(?) at Caltech may know Ruby (needed for interface)
  • Communicate with Mike Cherry / SGD as they use SPELL as well
  • Does SGD have a SPELL developer?
  • Java experience needed to maintain backend


Expression Clusters

  • Wen found that many authors don't publish lists of clustered genes
  • We could take in the data


Gene ACE Dumps

  • Kimberly took a look at what Michael sent us
  • Looked at gene objects specifically
  • More in the full Gene ACE that we could make use of than what was included in the 'nightly' dump from Michael
  • Could other curators take a look at what could be used/requested from GeneACE?
  • Karen and Juancarlos will discuss for variations today
  • Examples: CDS to Pseudogene changes, gene-to-variation mappings/pairings


Discussions on Value of Manual Curation

  • What would WormBase look like without any manually curated data?
  • Can concise descriptions be automated in any way? "This gene encodes ... It is involved in [GO process]..." etc.
  • How are the concise description forms working? In progress...
