WBConfCall 2022.09.08-Agenda and Minutes

• Helpdesk

• C.elegans collaboration partner for small ORF discovery? [MZ]
  • the GENCODE project have found some microproteins in human and mouse genes. We will begin to annotate the orthologs, and also adopt their methods for de-novo gene finding in C. elegans. Do we know any researcher who'd like to do some of the work with us?

• Model for WS287 released - when do Caltech want to hand over? [MZ]

• Grant

• The difference between "party" and "I will organise a barbecue for my family and friends the 4th of July" [MZ]

• Numeration on the Gannt chart https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bZb8fjdIXzSSFlCG4xpv8jBdKBh0DlwZ4dnN-nRjtsk/edit?usp=sharing

• Content of the figure for the Specific Aims page (p3)

• Shortening section A from 8 pages to 2

• Shortening section B from 12 pages to 6

Notes:

Please quantify how much analysis is needed, if possible, for example in curation hours.

Mention how analysis tools should migrate to Alliance, or be otherwise supported.

• Can we mention we are a Global Core Bioresource?

• Aim 2. Gene-centric curation. None of the paragraphs mention any work or plan for migrating that data class to Alliance - is that right? Some overview is mentioned in the introductory para in section B. But some relevant highlights are mentioned in Aim 1 - so it is slightly inconsistent.

• Aim 4 now lists worm-specific curation and tools we want to continue to support, outside Alliance

• Are we promising to do too much?
