AGENDA
- Apologies from Mary Ann - in Strasboug. Might try and Skype in. - Mary Ann joined in at the end of the call.
- Curation of protein complexes - will wait until Chris can join in.
- Set up a time next week to go over what more needs to be done for the construct/variation/transgene class - Main people being Mary Ann, Daniela, Chris, and Karen, others are welcome. Visit the construct model requests here
- Raymond gave an update on WObr. Juancarlos has learned enough Catalyst to create a workable ontology browser on the caltech wormbase sandbox.
- The browser can accommodate all ontologies used by Caltech curators (all GO, Phenotype, Anatomy, Life Stage, Disease)
- A browser will be on each respective ontology page;
- direct and indirect gene connections will be displayed in a list format
- there was a request that the gene connections to ontology terms display the indirect annotations with direct annotations in parenths
- various ontology browsers can be in their own widgets where desired.
- still need to set up the search function from the main wb search
- Caltech Models due Thursday 16 January 2014
- Caltech WS242 data due into Citace by Tuesday Jan 28.
- Biocuration 2014
- http://biocuration2014.events.oicr.on.ca/biocuration
- M. Tuli, X. Wang interested in attending.

AGENDA
- WOBr discussion
- Author-person issues
- Timeline for construct model
- Topic Curation
Author/Person issues
- User was looking for papers for a specific person
- Person was an author, but did not have a WBPerson object
- Cecilia will contact user
- Make author names searchable? ~32,000 authors without a person object
- How many authors (without a WBPerson) have multiple (5+?) papers?
- Proposal 1: make WBPersons for authors with 5 or more articles, and/or sort results of a search by number of publications
- Proposal 2: Search for WBPerson (no autocomplete function); if no WBPerson, look up authors (prioritized search)
Timeline for ?Construct model
- For WS243?
- Mapping primers used for expression constructs or reporters
- Integration of sequence features
- Examples of the new Crispr/CAS (genome editing) alleles (curated with flanking sequences)
- AddGene plasmids etc.
- Karen will move ahead with the ?Construct model just for the context of genome-editing alleles
- Other contexts can be added later
Topic Curation
- Is there a way to update curators if a new paper is added to the current focus topic?
- No, but curators can just send around an e-mail and/or query through the topic OA and curation status form
WormBase Ontology Browser (WOBr)
- Juancarlos can now modify WormBase widgets, but would need to learn how ACEDB is handled, if required
- We want to workout a pipeline for widget/website modifications, proposals etc.
- WOBr is not working off of ACEDB
- Note: WOBr is going to be a widget on the Ontology Term page (all other ACEDB-based info will be present on page)
- General structure:
- Testing site: http://juancarlos.wormbase.org/tools/ontology_browser
- Two entry points: 1. Homepage "Tools" menu (tree-like view from root terms), 2. Specific ontology term page (WOBr widget)
- Data present: ontology term objects, associated genes
- Association files needed: Disease, Life stage
- Curators are now testing and commenting on WOBr
- Difficult to implement: display of evidence codes, sorting by species
- Will consider for second generation WOBr
- Do we want species-specific WOBr? C. elegans WOBr? Yes, probably; not clear how to implement
- WormBase ontologies are currently species-agnostic
- Maybe we should have species-specific ontology terms/pages
- When displaying the number of associated gene products, we could/should? distinguish the number of gene products from C. elegans versus other species
