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 e-mail for Community Annotation

 

Dear Dr. <name>
Please help in WormBase's effort to encourage community curation by writing or updating gene descriptions that appear in the 'Overview' widget on WormBase webpages. We have identified the following genes from publications that have been attributed to you or members of your lab: <gene list>. Please use the link below to access the gene description submission form, guidelines on how to use the form, and related information can be found in the form.
