Topics

  • Display of Sequence Features on the website
    • And Transcription factors and Gene_product binds.
  • Stream out working flow
    • How can we automatically identify Sequence Feature papers.
  • Sample papers curation
    • Prepare a paper list from each person
  • assign meaningful names to the public_name field, e.g. 'distal enhancer 1' instead of 'DE1'
    • gw3 - I disagree with this. We should use the name that is used to describe the region in the paper, rather than making up our own names. I have had to go back and re-annotate regions after Xiaodong found problems with my stuff several months after I had originally done it and I really needed to be able to unambiguously identify which region the paper was talking about by using the Public_name field and matching this up to the name of the region in the paper. Users may well need to do this as well if they are reading the paper and looking at the Features marking up the regions.


Pre-Jamboree prep

  • Suggestions for work
    • Curate some (5? 10?) papers from our lists and collate data as follows
      • How long did each paper take to curate
      • How many new objects did you add to WormBase
      • Where in the paper was the information (e.g. supplementary data, figure legends, within text)
      • Did you need to contact the author for more information
      • Did you come across data for other curators
        • gw3 - I don't know in detail what data other curators require. It would be useful to know this so I can summarise data for others.

The Jamboree 15-17th Sept 2014

  • Suggestions for work
    • Discuss result from above
    • Work through some papers which have already been curated and have different data types (e.g. promoter and gene regulation) to identify best curation practices.
    • browsing capabilities through WormMine?


Matters Arising

  • things noted - not necessarily to do with the topic in hand
    • There are many duplicates of Interaction objects in geneace, with or without two leading digits. Sometimes there is only the shorter form.
    • The Features WBsf919641 and WBsf919607 are at the same position. Both are DAF-3 binding sites. WBsf919641 has Method "binding_site", WBsf919607 has Method "TF_binding_site" which I think is more correct as DAF-3 is a TF. WBsf919641 used the paper WBPaper00004526, WBsf919607 used the paper WBPaper00003384. WBsf919641 is associated with WBGene00202278, WBsf919607 is associated with WBGene00003514 (myo-2). The paper WBPaper00004526 appears to about a PEB-1 binding site, not a DAF-3 site. I made the Feature WBsf919609 for the PEB-1 site based on WBPaper00004526 in the last round of curation. Something not right here???
    • The Features WBsf019227 and WBsf038813 and in the same position, but opposite strands. They both are for a LAG-1 binding site associated with gene lin-11. One from paper: WBPaper00005357, other from WBPaper00032298. WBsf019227 needs to be retired and merged into WBsf038813.
    • WBsf038819 has a Method of 'regulatory_region', but the Public_name and Description describes it as an Enhancer. Which is it?
    • WBsf919669 is an Enhancer, but it has a tag for a Transcription_factor WBTranscriptionFactor000101. It is far too large to be a binding site for a transcription fact. I think this tag should be removed.

Papers to curate

  • I have taken the Sequence Feature Papers from RT and assigned the four of us 10 papers each.
  • Just in case there is any paper here that has already been curated for Interaction, I've added the number of Interaction objects linked to by the paper. If this is not helpful, feel free to remove it.

                Time: 4 hours
                New objects: none - 6 existing Features were corrected and updated. (WBsf019182, WBsf019181, WBsf019179, WBsf019177, WBsf019178, WBsf019180)
                Location of information: body text and in a figure in the supplemental table of the paper WBPaper00006376
                Other curator data: "lin-41 and lin-42 are negatively regulated by let-7"
                Comments: This is Gary Ruvkun's (Nature 2000) let-7 paper that started the miRNA field!
                Comments: This is being marked as a pair of 'binding_site' Features because this is miRNA not TF binding.
                See also: let-7, lin-41 binding WBPaper00006376 PubMed: 14729570 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC324419/) - This is the paper that defined the binding sites.
WBPaper00005044 Gary Interaction: 20
                Time: 3 hours
                New objects: made ire-1 binding site Feature (WBsf977530)
                Location of information: body of this paper and WBPaper00005036
                Other curator data: IRE-1 is a stress-activated endonuclease resident in the ER that is conserved in all known eukaryotes. IRE-1 mediated unconventional splicing of an intron from xbp-1 mRNA controls expression of the encoded transcription factor and is required for upregulation of most UPR target genes.

WBPaper00005971 Gary Interaction: 16 This has already been done by Gary: Feature WBsf718850

                Time: 3 hours
                New objects: Made WBsf977532, WBsf977533 M-2 motif/daf-12 binding sites for ceh-22
                New objects: Made WBsf977534, WBsf977535 M-2 motif/daf-12 binding sites for myo-2
                Location of information: body of this paper and Figure Supplemental 3
                Other curator data: "We conclude that regulation of myo-2 and ceh-22 during dauer development depends critically on the M-2 motif."
                Comments: lots of hypothetical binding sites for daf-12 in 90-odd genes, but these have not been experimentally confirmed.

                Location of information: body of this paper
                Other curator data: "recruitment sites are widely distributed along X to bind the DCC and nucleate DCC spreading to X regions lacking recruitment sites"
                Commments: This paper determines the A and B motifs of the Dosage Compensation Complex (DCC). There are hundreds of thousands of sites of varying strength.

  • I suggest we curate 5 of our papers before the jamboree, taking notes as described above and any other things that arise during your curation.
