- Do we still have files that are agnostic wrt release name but always either current or current development?
- Hello, I am trying to download all th...
- Do we have https downloads links available from the WormBase home page yet?
- Should all WormBase downloads be available from the same site?
- Related to Add links to the https-driven downloads site

Thank you so much to everyone for your contributions to content and edits! [Paul D]
Build WS283
Build WS283 has started in Hinxton
New and interesting things: Several model changes, eg to variants
Additional C. briggsae operons
Large batch of new strains and variants from KO consortium, CGC and NBRP
Any Other Business
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.

Help Desk
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
All Species page Downloads widget
- https://wormbase.org/species/all#0123--10-2
- How do we edit? Todd will look into it and discuss with Hinxton (Dio and Magdalena)
- Could this be automatically updated?
- WB Parasite and WB have out of sync releases; maybe we can use an API endpoint to populate the data
