== April 2, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== Community phenotype requests ===
 
* March 9-28
 
* 2,548 emails went out; 89 bounced; 6 resent; 13 backup; 2,478 successful emails
 
* 361 annotations overall
 
* 48 papers requested received curation (2% response rate)
 
* 53 distinct papers overall (5 papers without request)
 
* 53 distinct persons overall
 
 
 
=== Community curation volunteers ===
 
* Tracking volunteers [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ldECC44PXMilcDO6ctz-8AkRZntfDoV0Wtc4F-T_Zvg/edit?usp=sharing here]
 
* 14 volunteers so far, all have been assigned a WBPerson ID
 
* Chris will set up a webinar tutorial in the coming week or two
 
 
 
=== AFP pipeline ===
 
* Will resend email requests to authors that haven't already responded
 
* May also send out for older papers
 
* May work with people to help
 
* Does the old AFP form still work? It should
 
* If someone has a link to the old form, they won't get one for the new form
 
* Maybe could set up an automatic redirect from the old form to the new form
 
* Received many submissions recently (>20% response rate)
 
 
 
=== Ontology Annotator ===
 
* Need to work on Genotype OA dumper
 
* Turns out semicolons are problematic (currently in genotypes and transgenes) for object names (ontology fields)
 
* Ampersands (&) are also problematic for object names in the OA

=== Use Slack More ===
 
* Slack is a good tool for quick communication among team members; would be good for all curators to join Slack to enable efficient communication
 
 
 
 
 
== April 9, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== Volunteer curators ===
 
* Have sent out emails to schedule tutorials
 
* Chris had one tutorial with Michael Davies (Alyson Ashe's lab) yesterday
 
* One already scheduled for next Monday with Wilber and Stephanie from Paul's lab
 
* Two others already scheduled for next Tuesday with Lina Dahlberg and Colin Dolphin
 
 
 
===TAGC is virtual (4.22-25.2020)===
 
FYI in case you missed it
 
*You still have to register (it's free), if you hadn't before
 
https://genetics-gsa.org/tagc-2020/registration/
 
 
 
===summer students===
 
* Caltech SURF students (and other summer students worldwide) now are looking for projects
 
* Maybe they could curate for WormBase
 
* In addition to phenotype, they could curate:
 
** Allele/lesion sequence curation (using Allele Sequence form); maybe Paul Davis could make a tutorial video?
 
** Anatomy function, looking for novel info; opportunity to program/code
 
 
 
=== OA semicolon issue ===
 
* Juancarlos has fixed the issues on sandbox
 
* Curators should test on Mangolassi
 
 
 
=== Textmining/automation ===
 
* Daniela will discuss with Christina Zorn from Xenbase
 
* Will discuss SVM, AFP, Textpresso, etc.
 
 
 
=== Retracted WBPapers ===
 
* Jae & Kimberly put in GitHub ticket to make retractions clear on WormBase site
 
* https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/7637
 
* Can we systematically detect retractions? Yes
 
* What about finding papers that cite retractions? Maybe, but likely tricky
 
 
 
 
 
== April 16, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== Community Phenotype Curation Tutorials ===
 
* Chris has run 6 tutorials, recorded 4
 
* MPG files saved on DropBox; ask Chris for access
 
* Plan to edit videos to make tutorial video to post on WB YouTube channel
 
 
 
=== Author First Pass ===
 
* May run a webinar and use Zoom to record
 
* May make a short tutorial video
 
* Jae: Is there documentation for terminology used in the form?
 
 
 
=== Zoom accounts ===
 
* People can try to use Caltech Zoom account
 
 
 
 
 
== April 23, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== Community Phenotype Curation Tutorials ===
 
* Chris has finished first round of tutorials; 8 tutorials, 6 video recordings
 
* There are ~8 new volunteers; will setup tutorials for them soon
 
 
 
=== ECO code implementation ===
 
* ?ECO_term to replace ?GO_code in ACEDB models
 
* GAF files with three-letter codes can still be generated by mapping
 
 
 
=== Simplemine for Alliance ===
 
* Wen has presented proposal to Search group
 
* Plan is to have a link to the Alliance Simplemine prototype from the Alliance web page
 
 
 
=== Venn diagram tool ===
 
* Conceived by Jae, implemented by Sibyl
 
* Currently used for interactions data
 
* Could use for other data types like phenotype (e.g. comparing RNAi vs. allele phenotype)
 
* Could also use for Expression data, e.g. comparing results from different methods
 
* Could maybe use for disease data
 
 
 
=== AFP tutorial ===
 
* Daniela, Kimberly, Valerio will run through the AFP form with Nikita from Gupta lab tomorrow
 
* May record in the future to make a tutorial video
 
* Daniela may (re-)start curating markers for relevant expression patterns
 
* Wen noticed that many tissue markers are artificial (not necessarily endogenous sequence)
 
 
 
=== Expression markers ===
 
* SURF student projects: Identifying good expression markers? Maybe, but may require more curation experience
 
* Wen looked at expression cluster data; hard to find good, very specific (i.e. neuron) markers
 
* Daniela may (re-)start curating markers for relevant expression patterns
 
* Wen noticed that many tissue markers are artificial (not necessarily endogenous sequence)
 
* Already have an "Expression markers" widget on anatomy term pages
 
* Could combinations of genes (e.g. cGal) act as markers?
 
 
 
== April 30, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== Adding ?ECO_term class for WS278 ===
 
* Proposed[https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/Evidence_Code_Ontology#.3FECO_term_Model ?ECO_term model]
 
** How are the Parent/Child and Ancestor/Descendant tags used in WB for ontology classes?  Do we still need them in .ace files?
 
*Confirm proposed changes to class models that will use this tag:
 
** ?GO_annotation
 
** ?Phenotype
 
** ?Disease_model_annotation
 
 
 
=== Ontology term models in WB ===
 
* Discuss using ?RO_term values in our WB ontology term models
 
* Currently relations between ontology terms are captured with text that is sometimes inconsistent for the same concept, e.g. is_a
 
* Where possible, should be use ?RO_term to express the relations between ontology terms in our WB models?
 
* Impact on web display?
 
 
 
===Entries in the new Genotype OA===
 
*21 genotype entries created in the Genotype OA required for disease curation
 
*Few more to come, and at some point need to work on the dumper, in order to submit for WS278
 
*The use of the Genotype class across disease related classes waiting on approval of proposed models, will need dumper changes as well; hopefully we have enough time to get all this done for WS278
 
 
 
===ZOOM for tutorial===
 
 
 
* High Definition (1440p)
 
* Caltech account works well
 
 
 
===New AFP version===
 
* Planned to be released in June
 
* We need to improve datatype definitions. Please take a look at the current form here: http://textpressocentral.org:5000
 
* Frequency of automated alerts on new submissions for specific datatypes will change monthly to weekly
