From Juancarlos: On tazendra, in this directory : /home/postgres/work/pgpopulation/concise_description/20150702_papgenes_after_lastupdate
- gene_to_published_after - has a set of WBGenes + locus + count of papers + list of papers with a gene connection after the gene's date last updated (unsorted, but if you copy the file to your machine and put it in excel or something like that, you can sort it)
- pis_to_papers_with_genes_published_after - has PIs sorted in descending order by count of papers that mention a gene that has a gene connection after the gene's date last updated. So, possibly some papers have multiple genes, but are counted just once.
- This script takes some 40 minutes to run, because we're taking the date last updated, then for each of the 138056 doing a separate query to get paper-gene connections with a timestamp after that. So if we keep working on this script, it'd be kind-of-good to work out what we want since it takes so (relatively) long to run.
- Chris has a similar list for newmutant-flagged papers that still need curation, so you can both talk about what you want to do next.
Letter for Community Annotation
Dear Dr. <name> WormBase appreciates any help it can receive in the form of community annotation, even more so for non-elegans species. We have identified you and your lab as members of the worm community, that can contribute valuable gene function data to WormBase, in the form of free-text, brief gene descriptions. Descriptions will be properly attributed to their authors and displayed on the website. Please use the attached form to submit gene descriptions, the form includes guidelines and other details about how to write them. Thank-you and Regards WormBase Consortium
