Minutes

AGR

Interactions

• Interaction Working Group is talking about getting WormBase data into AGR
• Import from external sources, a.e. IMAP(?)
• design of page/table to display the data on AGR (v2.0)
• planning to deal with redundancy in data in some way
  • similar problem to redundancy during GO curation
  • can we used as weight for edges

Gene Expression

• expression XRefs
  • design
  • implementation
  • display
  • submission
• overlap between Gene Regulation / Interaction needs coordination

Disease

• add back in orthology based gene - disease association (v1.3?) with difference evidence (IEA / ISO)
• different approaches between the databases for curation/prediction
• talk about an AGR wide orthology set for predicting disease genes

Gene Descriptions

• come up with AGR wide rules for Gene Descriptions
• rewrite the WB description pipeline
• differences between WB - AGR description (custom output?)
• outreach to labs / user feedback

'Single-Cell' Gene Expression data

• coordination between CalTech and Hinxton (Gary, Raymond, Wen), due to the large scale analysis data
• ontology terms not necessary in line with WB
