Models for WS241
(Paul D)
Summary:
- ?Person class - Database tag added for ORCID
- ?Interaction and ?Feature models - linking tags changed
- ?Movie linking - Added Reference ?Paper XREF Movie and DB_INFO tags
- ?Expr_pattern - Microarray and Tiling_array now linking to ?Microarray_experiment and ?Analysis. Also added DB_INFO tag
- ?Gene_cluster - Karen would like to use this underused class for phylogenetic gene clusters
- ?Construct Class - A new class for storing Construct reagents used for generating Variation data
- ?Protein Class - Remove the UNIQUE tag on the Database Text field.
SAB 2014
- planning
- so far we have not followed through on this because Paul Sternberg has not been in the last two meetings.
- There are two options:
- New Year (January or February) at CalTech
- Later in the Spring at Hinxton
Incorporating Annotations from External Groups
- New GO annotation pipeline will bring in manual GO annotations made by other groups such as UniProt, IntAct, GO's RefGenome (PAINT) curators, UCL-BHF, etc.
- These annotations need to be properly credited, so for the new GO annotation model we would like to create WBPerson objects for these groups and use Curator_confirmed evidence (the same evidence we use for WB manual curation)
- This may also apply when we start sharing interaction data with BioGrid.
- Any objections? If so, other ideas?
Themed Curation
WS241
- All of the genes for the protein unfolding pathways (including the orthologs in the core WormBase species) have been curated to improve their structures.
- There is a Google Docs page summarising the changes made (412 genes looked at. 72 structures modified. 118 new isoforms):
- https://docs.google.com/a/wormbase.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgGcFCavxqIRdGtvTDdpTGM5TndPSEFUbFVOeV9EOFE&usp=sharing
- Is any more curation required for the "protein unfolding pathways" themed curation?
WS242
- is the scheduling still ok for CalTech to go with a ncRNA themed release?
