Build WS283
Build WS283 has started in Hinxton
New and interesting things: Several model changes, eg to variants

Large batch of new strains and variants from KO consortium, CGC and NBRP
AOB
WormBase's All Species page (https://wormbase.org/species/all#0123--10-02) updated with new genomes from WB ParaSite release 16
Todd and Magz set the 4 release dates for 2022.
Many thanks for being patient with the EBI FTP migration, which was very unfortunately timed.

Web of Science Data Citation Index
- Having some FTP issues
- Also, was accessing a WS276 file; doesn't seem to be a current equivalent:
- Todd: These should be automatically updated; file name may have diverged and broken the link
FTP issues; migration to HTTPS download site
- Paul D added link from "Downloads" to User Guide with relevant links
- When WS282 is released, the live link will be added (today or tomorrow)
Changing lab representative
- Who curates this? Cecilia curates lab information, but not sure if she curates this
- Tim S sends monthly updates; may be a data update lag
- Paul D will check on update to data
Community Forum issues
- User unable to make some comments; Todd will look into it and get back to user
- Unable to post links
ePCR, GMap, and Tree Display issues
- Adam looked into Tree Display issue; may be able to provide similar info from Datomic
- Adam would prefer we deprecate/retire Tree Display and remove one more dependency on ACEDB
- Todd: these are periodic, recurring issues about depending on ACEDB
- Could possibly setup multiple redundancies providing ACEDB, but may not be worth it
- How important are these tools to WB and users?
- Curators really like the Tree Display
- Are there current alternatives to Tree Display?
- Adam can demo using REST endpoint for Datomic
- Thomas Down had created a Datomic tree viewer; not sure what the state of that tool is
- Maybe we can provide link to REST endpoint from Adam under the WB Tools menu
- We can add to Tree Display a REST endpoint link for that specific object in case Tree Display falls over
Genetics Manuscript
- Just about ready, Paul D finishing up for submission
WS283 build
- Hinxton received Caltech data and working on build
- Variation/Allele model changes
- New C. briggsae operons set
- Large batch of new strains from KO consortium, CGC, and NBP
- Can write up as a blog post
