 Kimberly is looking into it. We need to decide if that specific patent can be included. We don't have a paper type for patents and they are not peer reviewed (at least the experiments are not). It can be added as a meeting abstract.

Agenda and Minutes

GAF files

• Are GAF files C. elegans specific? We have 39 expression annotations to other species (remanei, brenneri, brugia). ok to leave them out? If not, make sure that those Expression_objects don't make it to the GAF.
• Chris has written up a Wiki page to point to GAF specifications as well as describe the format details and suggest a new header for each GAF in our FTP "ONTOLOGY" directory
  • To resolve GitHub ticket: https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/7900
  • Current "ONTOLOGY" directory on FTP: ftp://ftp.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/releases/current-production-release/ONTOLOGY/
  • New Wiki page: https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase_gene_association_file
  • We would like to push ahead with modifying the headers of these association files
