Agenda

Outstanding Help Desk issues

  • Conceptual translation of mitochondrial transcripts (carry-over from last call)
    • https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/5903
      • We told the user we would get back to them on Oct 24 (the user reply was on the 18th but only entered manually on the ticket on 24th)
      • PD pointed the user to the translations on the Protein summary page on 18th so we can change status to "helped" as the user has been contacted and put in the right direction.
      • The bug still need to be fixed but there are two options as stated in the ticket.

AGR data upload deadline next Wednesday (Jan 10)

  • Initial import of nematode alleles into AGR
  • Will include only alleles that:
    • affect single, endogenous genes AND
    • have disease associations OR phenotypes OR regulatory interactions
  • Kevin has suggested creating a separate file of these alleles to make available to users
  • Future plans are to expand to alleles that:
    • Affect more than one gene
    • Do not have data (will need to clearly distinguish from those with data)
  • Need to nail down definition of "allele" (and other terms) at AGR (with Variants working group)

WS264 models

  • Only a simple change for the Gene_class class to avoid two Description fields
  • No further changes.

Minutes

GoToMeeting call-in problems

  • Hinxton having problems dialing in with the provided numbers (silence on the line)
  • Raymond will look into it
