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.

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

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?

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):

Is any more curation required for the "protein unfolding pathways" themed curation?
