Agenda

Abby, August 15th last day. Traditional serenade by the departed, Canadian song of her choosing.

There is an idea to make the human disease data more accessible and extend the curation. Discussion items:

Example data already accessible in the acedb database
- I have created test queries and files available here ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub2/wormbase/STAFF/pad/disease_data_test
- Also on the [discussion] tab to this page.
Curation
- What additional curation is needed, and how does it overlap with the Disease Relevance data that Ranajana has been collecting?
- How should it be captured?
  - Approach 1: speadsheet, which is exposed directly on the web-site
  - Approach 2: traditional: in Postgres at Caltech, with dataflow into Ace (with new classes/tags)
- Should we import the whole human and mouse canonical gene sets to facilitate this (and other things)?
Display
- What are the main anticipated use-cases?
Orthology data in WormMine
- would facilitate some of the necessary queries (e.g. what worm genes have human orthologs)
- work underway to simplify the structure in Ace to make this easier (WS245)
