Agenda

WormMine WS239

  • maybe JD can give an overview of the new things
  • Thoughts, reactions?

database URL/URIs

  • where should we store these?
    • acedb + website flat file
    • website flat file only with only database name and description stored in acedb
  • can there be an easier way to update the URL/URIs on the web

ABM 2014

  • when?
  • where?

Release Themes

  • protein folding / pathways WS241
  • ncRNA / specific ncRNAs (lincRNA/snoRNAs) WS242

Minutes

WormMine

  • 3d build time, checkpoints used to resume
  • sequences for proteins and genomic features for all species except C.sp 5 and C.sp.11
  • richer classes to query (example RNAi, etc.)
  • link to JDs wiki:
  • CDS locations not included in WS239

URLs / URIs

  • current: flatfile in the github repository (problem: wrong formatted commits)
  • future: potentially an update form/site
  • proposal: remove the URLs from database (to make it clear the repository is the canonical source)
  • proposal: remove the URL_constructor from model

ABM

  • early next year
  • Hinxton

Nameserver

  • JSON dumper too slow
  • delay between GeneAce <=> NameDB synch
  • make sure that NameDB <=> GeneAce is synched weekly
  • proposal: do a nightly JSON dump
  • proposal: put the database on the cloud

InterMine

  • call for letter of support for their new funding cycle

Curation Focus ideas for themed releases

ncRNAs

  • we could add ncRNAs to the other non-cores from other databases (Hinxton) and look through literature (CalTech)
