Clone Model Update
 
*Working with current clone model to test adding plasmid objects
 
**Works OK, but will probably want a couple of new tags
 
**One idea is to have a tag that links nematode-specific sequence in the plasmid to genomic regions and GBrowse viewer
 
*Test plasmid objects and ideas for genome alignment sent to Paul Davis, waiting to hear back
 
 
 
 
 
Inter-Release Patch files?
 
*Still need to work out, but should wait until the new website has stabilized
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== May 26, 2011 ==
 
 
 
 
 
Genetic Interactions (Interactions Group)
 
*Made headway on genetic interactions organization and nomenclature
 
*We have talked about (previously) separating physical, genetic, predicted, and regulatory interactions into different models
 
**This will need more time and work
 
*We can immediately add the new genetic interaction type tags to the interaction model
 
*New types include: Enhancement/Suppression, Complex, No Apparent Interaction/Additive, Asynthetic
 
*BioGRID will use their own curation strategy and pipeline, but may eventually incorporate our curation approach
 
 
 
 
 
Concise Descriptions (Snehal)
 
*Avergaing 9 genes/week
 
*Prioritized on new publications
 
*Also working on FlyBase GSA markup (e.g. false negatives)
 
 
 
 
 
Picture Curation (Daniela)
 
*Have authorization from ~50% of Elsevier journals
 
*Still need Developmental Biology access (many C. elegans papers)
 
 
 
 
 
Textpresso for Cell Function (Raymond)
 
*Have scheme for decent precision (still accumulating numbers)
 
*Recall?
 
*Review papers are, by default, tagged as primary literature and can affect the numbers
 
*Textpresso needs to add a review tagging step (earlier in the pipeline)
 
*Search done with keywords like "mosaic", anatomy terms, site of action, etc.
 
*Many anatomy terms are not very specific (e.g. E, AB, MS, etc.)
 
*Can give Michael new category list criteria for Textpresso (cleaner than current from postgres table pap_primary_data)
 
**Can have inclusion & exclusion criteria
 
 
 
 
 
User Interface Query Tool (Raymond)
 
 
 
 
 
Human Disease Curation (Ranjana)
 
*C. elegans as a model for human disease
 
*Textpresso script identifies C. elegans papers with relevance to human disease
 
*Where should this information go? Curation status form?
 
*Right now, everything is simply writing to a text file that Arun has setup
 
*Connect Arun's script to Curation Status form?
 
*OMIM tags
 
*Accession/evidence tags?
 
*Apoptosis working group - identify apoptosis genes in various model organisms
 
 
 
 
 
KOG data
 
*What should we do about it?
 
*EggNOG?
 
*Michael Paulini will change the data model for homology groups
 
*Old data comes from citace; we need to reformat the data if we want to keep
 
*Remove old KOG data entirely and replace with EggNOG data?
 
*Any new data coming from Caltech? No
 
*Transfer data to Hinxton
 
 
 
 
 
Author Flag (First-Pass) Forms
 
*Who is taking care of/in charge of this (curators)?
 
*Do curators look at them? Yes
 
*Gary prioritizes RNAi papers based on them, Xiaodong uses it, Daniela uses it
 
*Should we remove outdated/unused data types?
 
*We get the author form results before we have the PDF
 
**Check is in place now so author is not e-mailed until we have the PDF
 
**Have authors send us the flags and the PDF?
 
*Karen will coordinate a clean up process
 
*Group needs to participate in evaluating the automation pipeline
 
 
 
 
 
SVM performance
 
*Retraining SVM
 
*SVM performs most poorly on Expression Patterns and Gene Regulation
 
*RNAi SVM performs best
 
*Subtract papers that are already curated from the paper pool
 
*Let Ruihua know if there are any thoughts as to how to better train the SVM
 
*First-pass forms identify some papers that are missed by SVM (maybe help?)
 
*BioGRID interest? Can we use SVM on abstract only? Mostly use entire paper; could try abstracts
 
**Hard to get access to full text for all papers
 
**Good to encourage all databases/groups to get access to full text
 
**Abstract SVM depends on what is acceptable Recall/Precision values
 
 
 
 
 
GSA for FlyBase (Karen/Snehal)
 
*GSA markup from FlyBase is not as good as it could be
 
*Snehal may focus more on GSA for the time being
 
 
 
 
 
International Worm Meeting WormBase Bandanas
 
*Which to choose?
