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

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
