Agenda and Minutes

HelpDesk

• https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/9034

scRNA from Whole-body gene expression atlas of an adult metazoan

• Web site https://wormseq.org/
• Curatable data (need to decide what to take on)
  • Interactive graph TPM / % cell expressing per gene (planned)
  • Enriched gene set per cell (planned)
  • Link out to their web site and analysis tools (planned)
  • Inclusion on http://single-cell.wormbase.org/
    • if we have the files in .h5ad format we can try to set it up
  • Likely house keeping genes
    • these could be brought in via expression cluster
  • Makers used for cell cluster ID
    • integrate into anatomy pages
  • Ligand-receptor expression informed cell-cell interaction
    • for this and the following items Hinton does not have enough manpower to deal with it
  • Transcription factor code per cell type
  • cis-acting sites for cell types

IWM

• Booth
  • received this morning an email from the contractor for booth logistics
    • carpeting
    • electrical and extension cords
      • Stavros Sarah can bring some extension cords
    • furniture
      • Sarah and Stavros can bring camping chairs
• Swag
  • General WB swag
  • Community curation swag
  • microPublication swag

• Workshop
  • Scott will be remote
  • Check in with Todd if he can give the tools talk

Orthology

• Alliance and WB results differ, that influences the gene descriptions
• Need a manual assertion of homology using manually written concise descriptions?

Name Server

• Any update on this? Valerio will write to Todd
