WBConfCall 2020.03.05-Agenda and Minutes

Agenda

Help Desk

• The following 3 items are linked and the Gene has been named and a new lab created:
  • Has anyone replied to Padhu Padmanabhan (email Feb 4)? - Yes Paul D. replied on the 4th directing them to the genenames list
  • Asked about indicating Y53C10A.5 as having plasmanylethanolamine delta-1-desaturase (EC 1.14.99.19) activity - Can be closed
  • Has anyone replied to Montserrat Elías regarding naming of same gene, Y53C10A.5? - This name has been agreed by Tim S. and the issue can be closed.

• Unsure on this:
  • Could this be added as a GO MF (GO:0050207)?

Rearrangement IDs

• From thread on Slack, "general" channel
• Karen asked about getting WB IDs for rearrangements (they currently do not get serial IDs)
• Todd suggested rolling them into the WBVariation class
• Rearrangement class model doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zntv3UA30dYxyf0MLKgZnThlFMPdTJ_wOokD06vdxss/edit?usp=sharing

Nameserver-to-Caltech info transmission

• Caltech curators would like quick turn around when requesting names/IDs
• Currently relies on a nightly cronjob to dump GeneACE to Caltech Postgres database
• Caltech can create a local CGI to immediately update Postgres/OA with new terms before nightly dump occurs
• Is there an effective mechanism to make updates to Caltech Postgres/OA as immediately as possible?

Disease info changes in 6 classes

• I propose making these changes for WS278, gives us more time to revisit/change dumpers, and test the data here at Caltech (Ranjana)
• If we want to go ahead with the new ?Genotype class, that's separate and I'm fine with that (Ranjana)

Single cell expression tool

• Eduardo is looking for feedback on his tool to query C. elegans single cell expression
• Tool is here: http://de.wormcells.com/
