Agenda

outstanding help desk items

These are all new--thanks everybody for staying on top of these.

It has been requested that, for the October 20th AGR 1.0 release, we have prominent links to AGR gene pages from MOD gene pages and prominent links to AGR disease pages from MOD disease pages
To be determined:
- Where exactly should the link go? In the Overview widget? External Links widget (although may not be prominent enough)?
- Should the link be represented by the AGR logo? The entire phrase "Alliance of Genome Resources"? Just "Alliance" or "AGR"?
- We can have a tooltip/pop-up when hovering the cursor over the link to spell out "Alliance of Genome Resources"
Some slides with mockups/summary: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yfEvYXEMyfKy260YYMQprqoIfMpfMAVUhmzu-1vuPdU/edit?usp=sharing
Have created GitHub tickets:
- https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/5875
- https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/5876

Should have similar link structure at each mod?
mock ups of a few options would be good (link here)
if the goal is to raise awareness (it is), link text should contain "Alliance of Genome Resources" and even a logo

Denis Dupuy presented work at the IWM about depicting gene splicing frequencies derived from RNA-Seq data on a log-scale
These depictions are often useful for deciding which splice variant(s) is/are the most prevalent, especially for genes with many splice variants
His paper has been submitted and is expected to be accepted soon
He has sent us images (in PDF) for each gene in C. elegans
Gary W. has started working out a similar display for all species
Do we want to display these images on gene pages?
Some examples:
- daf-16 on WB GBrowse:

It is certainly possible to do graph type things in JBrowse. See this example GWAS viewer plugin:

The display from the authors is (IMHO) difficult to interpret; if we want to provide similar data in the genome browser or gene page we should probably create a cleaner representation
Discussion will continue with authors, Gary, Chris and Scott

"Site visit" next spring, evaluate progress and decide how to proceed with funding.
We need to push and be effective.

Back from review; stuff to do
