Working Group:Sequence Features

Topics

• Display of Sequence Features on the website
  • And Transcription factors and Gene_product binds.
• Stream out working flow
• Sample papers curation
  • Prepare a paper list from each person
• assign meaningful names to the public_name field, e.g. 'distal enhancer 1' instead of 'DE1'
  • gw3 - I disagree with this. We should use the name that is used to describe the region in the paper, rather than making up our own names. I have had to go back and re-annotate regions after Xiaodong found problems with my stuff several months after I had originally done it and I really needed to be able to unambiguously identify which region the paper was talking about by using the Public_name field and matching this up to the name of the region in the paper. Users may well need to do this as well if they are reading the paper and looking at the Features marking up the regions.

Pre-Jamboree prep

• Suggestions for work
  • Curate some (5? 10?) papers from our lists and collate data as follows
    • How long did each paper take to curate
    • How many new objects did you add to WormBase
    • Where in the paper was the information (e.g. supplementary data, figure legends, within text)
    • Did you need to contact the author for more information
    • Did you come across data for other curators
      • gw3 - I don't know in detail what data other curators require. It would be useful to know this so I can summarise data for others.

The Jamboree 15-17th Sept 2014

• Suggestions for work
  • Discuss result from above
  • Work through some papers which have already been curated and have different data types (e.g. promoter and gene regulation) to identify best curation practices.
  • browsing capabilities through WormMine?

Matters Arising

• things noted - not necessarily to do with the topic in hand
  • There are many duplicates of Interaction objects in geneace, with or without two leading digits. Sometimes there is only the shorter form.

Papers to curate

• I have taken the Sequence Feature Papers from RT and assigned the four of us 10 papers each.
• Just in case there is any paper here that has already been curated for Interaction, I've added the number of Interaction objects linked to by the paper. If this is not helpful, feel free to remove it.

                New objects:
                Location of information: body text
                Other curator data: "lin-41 and lin-42 are negatively regulated by let-7"
                Comments: This is Gary Ruvkun's (Nature 2000) let-7 paper that started the miRNA field!

• I suggest we curate 5 of our papers before the jamboree, taking notes as described above and any other things that arise during your curation.
