Adding Caltech designated WBIDs to the nameserver

added by Karen

  • Michael Paulini found that some Transgene IDs were missing in acedb from db to db
  • Caltech assigned IDs include, transgene, construct, molecule, others....
  • MP suggests using a centralized nameserver to keep track of ID history (merges, kills etc)
  • KY suggests alternative of added history to .ace files in citace upload

Help Desk

  • Emails sent to help@wormbase.org did not generate github tickets.

* "phm-2 has been cloned. It is F32B4.4" help desk email from Jonathan Ewbank Sept 30 GitHub ticket #7905

  • "eiF3-L and dhs-6 confusion" help desk email from Mary-Anne Felix Sept 29 -- [PD I will look at this]

* "paper link missing to sax-1?" help desk email from Nathalie Pujol Sept 26
** all gene-paper links for that paper have been added to the paper object; responded to Nathalie (Kimberly)

  • Did anyone help Nathalie Pujol with this one:

I am working on COL-17 that was recently taken out of the collagen family (see Matrisome data). As it still have a weak homology to Briggsae COL-77 A, I wanted to check the prediction of the Briggsae protein with you. Cbr COL-77 in wormbase has 2 isoforms, A 351 aa and B 304 aa. It seems that the A long form is specific to Briggsae (and contain the very short homology domain with COL-17). The B form is shorter and produced after a frameshift after one or two base splice out, which is strange, but is 100 % identical to all other COL-77 protein in Caenorhabditis.

My question is then the following: Does the Cbr COL-77 A long isoform is real? I couldn’t have access to RNAseq or Est sequences.

WormBase Webinars

  • All New WormBase Tables Ready for Testing. Sibyl sent an email to the staff email list.
