Adding worm disease models/data to the Monarch Initiative website
(From Ranjana)
- http://monarchinitiative.org/ : connects phenotypes, diseases, models, and genes for translational research across species (People involved: Melissa Haendel, Chris Mungall, Suzi Lewis, Nicole Washington and others)
- Last time I spoke to them, seems like they were still working on a lot of stuff; today, got a very enthusiastic response from Chris and Nicole about including worm disease model data
- Pointed them to our gene-disease association file, on the FTP site:ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/wormbase/releases/WS245/ONTOLOGY/disease_association.WS245.wb, however this is incomplete since it doesn't have the disease model descriptions, and the manually curated OMIM connections, so also sent them the WS245 caltech manual curations file
- Will wait to see whether they can work with the above files or would they need something else
- Link to monarchinitiative.org from WormBase? Possibly from the DO term page? there is documentation at http://monarchinitiative.org/page/services and http://monarchinitiative.org/docs/files/api-js.html?
- A page example for Parkinson's Disease: http://monarchinitiative.org/disease/DOID_14330, from here one can go to the different tabs for Models, Genes, Compare, etc.
Model change requests
- Wen and Daniela: model changes to #Qualifier so that we can combine life stage with anatomy term in expression pattern annotation. We hope these changes can be included in WS246 models.wrm. We just need to add Life_stage and Anatomy_term fields to #Qualifier.
#Qualifier Certain Text
Uncertain Text
Partial Text
Anatomy_term ?Anatomy_term //Added by Wen and Daniela
Life_stage ?Life_stage //Added by Wen and Daniela
- Ranjana: Addition of a new tag, 'Automated_description' to 'Structured_description under ?Gene
?Gene Structured_description Provisional_description
Concise_description (and others) Automated_description <--New tag
