Agenda

Assembly of CB4856 (Hawaiian) strain

LeDeana Hillier is about to publish a full assembly of CB4856. She has also produced an alignment against (an old version of) the N2 reference, and proposes to submit it to WormBase. Questions:

  • Should we host the assembly of CB4856 as a genome in its own right? Or should we do as we've always done, and use the data to add to the variation set for CB4856 (which currently comprises data from numerous studies)?
  • If we want to host the genome in its own right, should we attempt to annotate it? It would be fairly straightforward to project the N2 gene models across, but should we go further than that, and curate known cases where the gene structure in wild isolates if different from N2? Should we use the same WBGene ids for the genes in CB4856 or add new ones?
  • More generally, what are the use-cases of this data set?

ParaSite/WormBase streamlining

  • we removed the parasitic T3 worms from WormBase
  • the parasite orthologs are therefore not accessible from the C.elegans genes
  • for the 3 worms that are in ParaSite and WormBase (O.volvulus/S.ratti and B.malayi) it is not easy to switch between the sites to access data the respective other is missing
