Summary of Ontology-based Annotations (SObA)

  • Caltech (Raymond, Juancarlos, Chris) worked on new phenotype summary view
  • Had a round of feedback and review
  • Caltech would like to get the new view up and running for the website
  • May need to work out Javascript issues (collisions) between main site and auxiliary scripts & dependencies
  • Best to use existing libraries, JQuery; will probably only use simple custom-written Javascript
  • Code generated at Caltech will be documented and archived on GitHub
  • Can consider Cytoscape JS

SAB 2016

  • February 4th-5th, 2016, Thursday & Friday
  • Who are advisors; any suggestions send to Paul
  • What feedback do we want from SAB this year?
  • What new tools or features should we be working on? What do other sites have that we don't?
  • We should bring data/feedback on community curation form usage
  • Would be good to have an assessment/comparison of what all the MODs have and how they perform

Legacy site usage

  • Bill Mohler asking about neuron images (from White thesis, Mind of a Worm/Worm Atlas)
    • neurons colored red in images on legacy
  • Raymond will work with Daniela to get anatomy-associated images displayed on the website
  • Need to find the images
  • These cartoons are a nice complement to Virtual Worm images

WS251

  • Build starts next week
  • People should write entries for release notes and send to Hinxton

Gene association files (GAFs)

  • GAFs currently need to be processed for downstream use/analysis in the WormBase Ontology Browser, etc.
  • Raymond requesting the generation of separately formatted GAFs for different downstream applications
  • One issue is qualitative vs. quantitative data (e.g. qualitative expression pattern annotations vs quantitative RNA-Seq analyses)
  • Would be good to have distinct views of expression data, based on confidence and/or method
  • This has implications for comparative analysis of species available in ParaSite

Help Desk question about papers with cell lineage data

  • We don't have papers specifically flagged for cell lineage data
  • It is on Raymond's to do list; not a trivial problem
