WormBase Genome Integration Standards

This is a stub so feel free to add content.

Overview:

At the last ABM we were asked by the board to come up with a list of criteria that a genome assembly/project should attain before WormBase would agree to integrate the Organism into the database.

This topic has re-surfaced as SangerWB have been in contact with the Sanger Helminth group regarding future integration of their data.

They run a pipeline whereby there are 4 phases

1) Production (X months) - No Interest for WB 
      |
2) Finishing  (3 Months) - No Interest for WB
      |
3) Analysis   (3 months) - Depending on our criteria we could be interested here
      |
2) Repeat - Finishing
      |
3) Repeat - Analysis
      |
      x n (This means that it can go through several rounds before it is published)
      |
4) Publish when the genome/gene set meets their standards 

The Helminth Co-ordinator is going to send some information regarding the standards they will be working to but these will be based on the paper "Genome Project Standards in a New Era of Sequencing" so this might be a good starting point for WormBase to base our list of criteria.....(It's not very detailed :( )

Discussion

expected number of genes

To get an estimated of how many genes could be expected in an assembly, you could take the average gene length and see how many can be at maximum being predicted based on the available contigs (if you can come up with the intergenic percentage you can include that). Take this in correlation to a wild guess on the gene number (like 20k) and you got a % completeness (and a huge error bar).

Gene Models

All gene models should be at least 3 amino acids in length - mainly for Blast analysis as this is the minumum word size.



Minimum Standards

  • Submission to a public Nucleotide Repository
  • Wiki description of the Species, submitted by data producer if possible.
  • N50 of ?
