Agenda

HelpDesk - Kimberly

Helpdesk Issues Still Open

WBStrain ids

  • would be good to get a list of people who need to be able to create new strains
  • will reside temporary in the old NameServer at Sanger and then move to the new Datomic one on AWS

SAB - Toronto, CA

AGR

Minutes

  • On call: Adam, Cecilia, Chris, Daniela, Juancarlos, Karen, Kimberly, Raymond, Scott, Sibyl, Todd, Valerio, Wen, Kevin, Paul D, Gary, Matt, Paul K

Helpdesk Issues Still Open

  • I am trying to have access to fosmid ...
    • On staging, we will begin providing the end sequences
    • We've never had the full sequence, so if we were providing a "fosmid" sequence, it might have been the intervening genomic sequence
    • What would users want?
    • It seems we could provide the intervening sequence but we need to communicate with users about what they're actually getting, i.e. a prediction.
    • Would this be a potential source of confusion to users, though, who may need to validate the sequence against a clone they order from Don Moerman's group?
    • Resolution: for next release, provide intervening genomic sequence but make it clear that it's predicted from genomic.
    • Chris will check and close the original ticket, if the changes Adam pushed are okay.

WBStrainIDs

  • Bulk assigning strain IDs to existing strains is easy.
  • How do we assign new strain IDs at the point of curation?
  • Will treat similarly to variations, i.e. use a name service to check if an ID already exists; if not, can request a new strain ID to use in postgres curation database.
  • Who needs access to the name server for this?
    • Chris, Daniela, Karen, Ranjana
  • Discussed institutional vs personal sign-on; personal is better, allows for assignment of WBPerson IDs
  • What additional information will be solicited when requesting a new strain ID?
    • Public name is most important
    • Reference?
    • Genotype?
    • This really is an issue of what gets curated where.
    • Ideally, we'd have a central curation database (just saying) that would allow immediate entry of the data.
    • Another option is that all strain information would come from Caltech curation.
    • Would there be anything left for Hinxton to add or do wrt strain curation?
    • One caveat: if author's potentially correct data in the paper when they submit the strain data to the CGC, how would we reconcile that?
    • It would be good to have a shared data model with the CGC, maybe even share the same curation tool.
  • Circling back, do we really need strain IDs?
  • Are strain names unique?
    • Karen has found some strain and clone names that are the same.
  • Todd did some analysis several years ago to see how many classes have overlapping entity names.
    • There were some wrt CDS and transcript; cell and cell group (no longer an issue), but overall the issue what not that bad.
  • For AGR, Sibyl created an ID resolver page. Kevin tested and, so far, hasn't found any issues.
