Agenda Items

• Alliance code security warnings (notification by Michael Paulini through wormbase-help) - OICR?

• Invalid LAB and allele designations sneaking into WormBase - advice needed please. #9409 [SKD]

[Tim] Strains with invalid strain names and allele names should not be curated.

[Karen] The strains are real so they should be captured. However the authors need to rename them to adhere to our nomenclature rules, regardless, so they need to be contacted for sure. I would vote to NOT curate the strains unless the authors change the names, but for the one that has been curated, remove the name from the public_name field, leaving that blank, since the strain has a WBStrainID it is trackable. Add the incorrect name into a remark field.

• Updating the C. elegans ribosomal subunit gene names and protein names. [Tim]
