Contact Information and File Specifications

Contact Anne Marie Mahoney at the Genetics Society of America.

The GSA has worked with us in the past to get International Meetings into WormBase.

They will send us a parseable file of abstracts in which each abstract is a separate file, named according to its program number.

Juancarlos can parse the abstracts.

Proofread the abstracts to make sure they are correct. Keep an eye out for proper translation of foreign characters as this is a common source of error.

Also ask for a participants list, containing names, addresses, email addresses, and institutions, for Cecilia's records.


Proofreading

Things to check for in parsed files:

  • Does the abstract number in the identifier match the abstract number in the program?
  • Are author names correct, i.e. are there any foreign characters not translated correctly?
  • Does the text of the abstract start and stop at the right places?
  • Are symbols represented properly, e.g. 3'UTR?
