SPELL
- Wen contacted Matt Hibbs
- Matt will not maintain SPELL in near future
- Undergrad at Caltech to maintain/upgrade (Ruby 2 -> Ruby 3)?
- Connect Matt with undergrad (work study?)
- Cynthia(?) at Caltech may know Ruby (needed for interface)
- Communicate with Mike Cherry / SGD as they use SPELL as well
- Does SGD have a SPELL developer?
- Java experience needed to maintain backend
Expression Clusters
- Wen found that many authors don't publish lists of clustered genes
- We could take in the data
Gene ACE Dumps
- Kimberly took a look at what Michael sent us
- Looked at gene objects specifically
- More in the full Gene ACE that we could make use of than what was included in the 'nightly' dump from Michael
- Could other curators take a look at what could be used/requested from GeneACE?
- Karen and Juancarlos will discuss for variations today
- Examples: CDS to Pseudogene changes, gene-to-variation mappings/pairings
Discussions on Value of Manual Curation
- What would WormBase look like without any manually curated data?
- Can concise descriptions be automated in any way? "This gene encodes ... It is involved in [GO process]..." etc.
- How are the concise description forms working? In progress...
