Agenda

AGR 1.0 spec - postponed

  • FlyBase Harvard got together and thrashed out a specification for the content of the first release of the AGR portal.
  • Other groups have been invited to do the same. Shall we?

CeNDR integration

  • Action following discussion with Erik (Mary Ann)
    • curate and add 91 strains from their catalogue to WB
    • add dbxref to all strains (342) in their catalogue
    • add Comment to all CeNDR strains held at CGC pointing users to CeNDR
    • fix some erroneous existing strain data (don't know which ones they are)
    • add link from External Resources page

Intellectual Lineage Graph

(Should dev site goes down: standalone version).

Conference call using GoToMeeting

  • Current AT&T Global Teleconference Service is very costly (~$500/month)
  • gotomeeting.com appears to be similar to Bluejeans that AGR uses
  • At a much lower cost, $30/month subscription fee for 50 participants


Here's the toll-free option for GoToMeeting: https://www.gotomeeting.com/features/conference-call

Help Desk issues outstanding

  • Issue #5243 "[wormbase-help] Invitation to contribute a chapter for Methods in Molecular Biology" ; deadline for submission is 1st April, 2017, discussion my happen about WormBase - ParaSite contributing a chapter.
  • All open issues from users look like they are being addressed. Thanks everyone!

Minutes

AGR 1.0 spec

Chris absent, so item postponed

CeNDR integration

  • https://elegansvariation.org (Kevin)
  • "Deeper" integration? What does this mean? -> Paul Sternberg
  • Action following discussion with Erik (Mary Ann)

Kevin: initially proposed links, but Erik wants something a bit more down the line Paul: want their own widget - or display on the genome browser Kevin: Erik has their own genome browser, but it might be too difficult to keep up with their variation IDs if they make changes Paul: we should just start with the linking for now and address deeper integration later
