1. Switched to GAF 2.2 as source file for GO based descriptions
2. Included qualifiers in descriptions

WB Grant 2022

• We will continue to maintain and improve the existing pipeline for automated gene descriptions
• We will explore a new algorithm/technology to generate gene descriptions as this will also benefit the project at the Alliance of Genome Resources for the 6 other species
• We will work on retiring the current WormBase pipeline to consolidate and unify the software for C. elegans gene descriptions as currently users see different descriptions at the Alliance and WormBase for the same gene
