Agenda

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 WormBas? 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.
