 +
** Peter Roy asking about expression profile of a condition and find similar expression profiles (SPELL like analysis) but SPELL cannot currently deal with scRNAseq data. Wen says it is possible (regarding each cell group as an experiment). Can try loading the into SPELL. Doe it improve the function of SPELL? Only 5-10 datasets. These data are a bit different from bulk RNAseq.

=== GO GAF Files ===
+
=== PDF Storage ===
* WS278 GO GAF is using the new 2.2 file format
+
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
* [https://github.com/geneontology/geneontology.github.io/blob/issue-go-annotation-2917-gaf-2_2-doc/_docs/go-annotation-file-gaf-format-22.md Specifications]
+
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
* GO will not be emitting GAF 2.2 until the end of the year (will try to get a fixed date)
+
* Is this okay with everyone?
* Implications for gene descriptions, but what about other tools, applications at WB?
 
* Some errors in the current WS278 GAF, but will get fixed soon
 
** Impacts gene descriptions for WS278, so using WS277 for now; will be OK once source GAF is fixed
 
  
===Disease files on FTP===
+
==February 8, 2024==
*No changes for WS278 FTP files, except an extra custom file that Hinxton is producing mostly for gene descriptions so that we don't get the wrong human diseases via poor orthology calls (see GitHub issue https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/7839)
+
* TAGC
*Will be some consolidation of disease data possibly for WS279 FTP files, implications for downstream tools--gene descriptions, WOBR, ??
+
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  
=== WormBase talk at Worcester Area Worm Meeting ===
+
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
* Chris set to give talk on December 1st, 2020, via Zoom, 4pm (or 4:30pm) EST / 1pm Pacific
 
* 30 minute slot; complementary to BAWM talk?
 
* WormBase members can attend

* https://www.umassmed.edu/ambroslab/meetings/bawm/
+
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
* Chris will give a talk September 23rd (< 2 weeks), 6pm Eastern, 3pm Pacific (probably first speaker but not sure)
+
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
* WormBase members can attend; Zoom link will be sent next Monday
 
  
=== Worm Anatomy Ontology Fixes ===
+
==January 25, 2024==
* Raymond working on addressing warnings and errors (missing definitions, duplicate labels, duplicate definitions)
 
* Assessing the best way to address them
 
* Would be good to be able to automate some edits; options:
 
** Use OWL API (need someone proficient in coding with OWL API)
 
** Convert to OBO, programmatically edit, convert back to OWL?
 
** Use Cellfie plugin for Protege?
 
** Should discuss with Nico once we have a sense as to what changes need to be made
 
  
=== Dead Variations in Postgres ===
+
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
* Currently pulling in variations/alleles from Postgres to populate "allele" and "genetic perturbation" categories in Textpresso
+
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
* Noticed that many transgene names were being included, which can result in false positives for the categories
 
* Looking at Postgres table "obo_data_variation", there are ~100,000 entries, ~40,000 with status "Dead" and ~60,000 with status "Live"
 
* Trying to determine the history of the "Dead" variations, where most of the transgene names are coming from
 
* May still want to include "Dead" variations/alleles in Textpresso category for historical reasons
 
* We could use pattern matching to filter out transgene names
 
* Possible to search C. elegans corpus for all "real" allele public names in the "Dead" set to see if they should still be included in categories
 
  
=== WS279 Citace Upload ===
+
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
* Local Caltech upload to Spica, Tuesday September 22, 10am Pacific
+
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
  
 +
* The paper conducts an analysis of natural variations within 48 wild isolates. To enhance the reliability of the variant set, I utilized the latest variant calling methods along with a custom filtering approach. The resulting dataset comprises 1,957,683 unique variants identified using Clair3. Additionally, Sniffles2 was used to identify indels of >30 bp, which numbered in the thousands to tens of thousands for most wild isolates. It is worth noting that variants identified with Sniffles2 have less reliable nucleotide positions in the genome.
  
== September 17, 2020 ==
+
* I am reaching out to inquire whether WormBase would be interested in incorporating this dataset. An argument in favor is the higher quality of my data. However, I am mindful of the potential substantial effort involved for WormBase, and it is unclear whether this aligns with your priorities.
  
=== Species errors in CITace ===
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
* Wen is reviewing species coming from CIT and will send individual curators lists of species that need correction
 
  
=== Webinars ===
+
=== Update on NN Classification via the Alliance ===
* We could perform a general WormBase webinar to cover all of WormBase, maybe one hour long
+
* Use of primary/not primary/not designated flag to filter papers
* Allow 20-30 minutes for discussion? Can allow interruptions but plan for one hour
+
* Secondary filter on papers with at least C. elegans as species
* Follow up with more specific webinars in following months: JBrowse, WormMine, Micropublication, AFP, Textpresso Central, Ontology browser & Enrichment tools, SPELL, ParaSite BioMart
+
* Finalize sources (i.e. evidence) for entity and topic tags on papers
* Chris and Wen can discuss how to setup
+
* Next NN clasification scheduled for ~March
* Should we have people register? Maybe
 
* AFP probably doesn't need an hour; maybe split an hour across micropublications and AFP?
 
  
=== Transcription factors and regulatory networks ===
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
* Had another question about TFs, asking for common TFs for a list of genes
+
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
* An issue is that the TF binding data we have is in disparate forms, trying to reconcile
+
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.
* We have a ?Transcription_factor class; it would be good to update and integrate with other related data types
 
  
=== Alzheimer's disease portal ===
+
=== Travel Reimbursements ===
* Funding has been awarded for Alzheimer's research
+
* Still waiting on October travel reimbursement (Kimberly)
* Ranjana: should the disease working group consider more about an Alliance Alzheimer's disease portal?
+
* Still waiting on September and October travel reimbursements (Wen)
* Paul S: Alliance SAB tomorrow; we'll see what the SAB says
 
* Can look at other resources like RGD disease portals and Reactome disease-related pathway models
 
* Ruth Lovering is doing some work in this regard
 
  
=== GO meeting ===
+
=== UniProt ===
* All are welcome to attend
+
* Jae found some genes without uniProt IDs, but the genes are there on uniProt but without WBGene IDs.
* Will discuss GAF format changes, etc.
+
* Wen reached to Stavros and Chris to investigate WormBase and AGR angles.  
* Ranjana: should she and Valerio attend to learn about GO changes that affect the gene descriptions pipeline?
+
* Stavros escalates the issue on Hinxton Standup.
** Kimberly: there could be a particular breakout group that Ranjana and Valerio could attend to discuss
+
* Mark checks Build scripts and WS291 results. After that, he contacted UniProt and he's working with them to figure this out.
  
=== New GAF 2.2 file ===
+
==January 18, 2024==
* Kimberly has reviewed and sent feedback to Michael P
+
* OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, now fixed on staging
* Valerio would like to stay in the loop to test the new files

+
==January 11, 2024==
* Needs an update
+
* Duplicate function in OA was not working when using special characters. Valerio debugged and is now fixed.
* Could we make this available to users? A link in the Tools menu?
+
** Curators should make sure that, when pasting special characters, the duplicate function works
* Is this useful to users? Would they understand it? Maybe be better as a curator resource
+
* OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, Valerio will debug and check what IP address he sees
* Could this be micropublished?
+
** If you want to bookmark an OA url for your datatype and user, log on once, and bookmark that page (separately for prod and dev)
** Possible; may want to consider a series of publications with videos of webinars, etc.
+
* Chris tested on staging and production the phenotype form and the data are still going to tazendra
 +
** Chris will check with Paulo. Once it is resolved we need to take everything that is on tazendra and put it on the cloud with different PGIDs
 +
** Raymond: simply set up forwarding at our end?
 +
* AI working group: Valerio is setting up a new account for open AI -paid membership for ChatGPT4. We can also use Microsoft Edge copilot (temporary?)
 +
* Chris getting ready to deploy a 7.0.0. public release - February 7th. Carol wanted to push out monthly releases. This will include WS291. For subsequent releases the next several releases will be WS 291 until WS292 is available.
