In attendance: KH, PD, GW, BB, JL
Curation
- Reviewing "known" genes with poor gene models
- PD and GW reviewing genes with a GCG name but questionable gene model
- Many/most of these are members of gene families.
- Work has involved (and continues to involve) structure changes, new isoforms, and re-classification of CDSs as pseusogenes
- Review of some CDSs models based on lincRNA data from David Greenstein (U. Minnesota)
- Comprehensive re-annotation of hlb-1 locus (based on feedback from a researcher from Penn state university)
Development
- New infrastructure for curating RNASeq meta data
- Ini file under version control, maintained by a combination of scripts and manual curation
- Will be a input to a script that generates the Track Hub (labelling tracks correctly etc)
- Continued work on using Trinity to "distill" RNASeq data for use in UTR addition to coding models
ParaSite
- Release 5 due soon
- BioMart currently being build
- Full testing will be done early next week
- Focus on C. elegans, and two new assemblies (E. multicularis and H. microstoma)
- Starting to look into Biomart alternatives (elastic search)
- ParaSite talk at the EG SAB
- Lots of work on documentation
- ParaSite expresso - conversations with Caltech about setting this up
