BELOW IS OLD STUFF:

Wednesday 2nd Feb – Pre-Meeting (WormBase central)

(Advisory Board not required to attend this session)

9:00 - 9:15 delegates arrive

9:15 - 9:30 pre-pre-meeting coffee

9:30 – 18:00 Put right the World

Potential Discussion topics

  • Release cycle
    • Implications of less frequent releases
    • Strategies for "as live" display of certain data types
  • Gene-structure curation
    • Manual versus automatic-RNASeq-guided (and how we might do the latter)
    • Which genomes should be manually curated?
    • Community annotation of tier III genomes
    • Should we invest resources into "semi-automatic" annotation of 3rd party genomes?
  • New species
    • Minimal requirements for integration into WormBase
      • Submission to ENA/Genbank? Gene-set?
      • Ownership of genome assemblies? Tier IIs required to be owned by Wormbase for re-submission
    • Support for "tier IV" (transcriptome-only) / "tier V" (genome-only) worms
    • Support for "in-progress" genome projects (See also Ensembl pre-sites)
  • (Re-)sequencing
    • What should the elegans reference sequence be?
      • We have RNASeq evidence from at least four labs for about 500 to 1000 genomic errors in the reference sequence compared to 'their' N2. However each lab has a different set of errors.
      • Re-sequencing a standard N2 isolate and make available from CGC.
        • This has been discussed and proposed a number of times, but has never progressed from "That's a really good idea" :(
        • Requires willing lab to prep large number of samples
        • Requires money for new tech seq run
    • Handling 1000s of elegans mutant and wild isolate strain genomes?
      • Representation of non-reference variants of genes/features etc.
    • Chip-seq and other large datasets - where should the be stored to maximise usage but cut overhead?
  • (Re-)distribution of tasks within the consortium
    • Array probe mapping
    • RNAi target identification
    • C.elegans monthly clone submission
  • Visualisation
    • GBrowse: making it -seq friendly
    • Interaction browser: what shall we use?
  • website development
    • implications of freeze on current website development - should we make this public?
    • will existing developments be incorporated into new website at start?
