*Users complained about e-mails going to old e-mail addresses
 
*Will only e-mail the most current e-mail on a user's profile
 
 
 
 
 
GitHub
 
*WormBase curation repository
 
*Should Juancarlos put postgres (and other) cgi's there?
 
*Make a separate Tazendra repository?
 
*Generate symbolic links for flat files (non-code)?
 
*Are we limited in the number of repositories we can have? Cost-dependent
 
*We could pay more for more repositories; is it worth it?
 
*Make another account separate from Todd's? Probably not; should keep consolidated in one account
 
*Do different dependencies cause problems?
 
*We will ask Todd about what he thinks is best
 
*OA code could eventually go to GitHub as well ''Code already in github -- J''
 
*Textpresso code can go to GitHub as well
 
 
 
 
 
Ontology Browser
 
*Aldrin installing Amigo
 
*How long should installing Amigo take?
 
*Get some input from GO Consortium
 
 
 
 
 
Genetic Interactions from Textpresso
 
*Where are relevant paper sentences stored? ''on tazendra /home/postgres/work/pgpopulation/genegeneinteraction/<date>/ggi_<something> -- J''
 
*Should we pull out sentences used by Andrei for interactions curation?
 
*Alternatively, redo a Textpresso search for relevant gene names, etc.
 
*Can we adequately find allele information?
 
 
 
 
 
Interolog Finder
 
*How to incorporate Interolog Finder into relevant gene pages?
 
*Maybe make a database object for each C. elegans Interolog Finder interaction
 
*Can we display our own data in Cytoscape? Interolog Finder data?
 
*Are Wei-wei's data being updated?
 
 
 
 
 
Rearrangements
 
*Want to change the variation auto-complete file
 
*Dead allele objects
 
*Problem: some Rearrangment objects are considered alleles/variations, others are dead or are not considered alleles
 
*How do we define/distinguish between Rearrangements/Deficiencies and Alleles?
 
*All are variations
 
*Do we make alleles and rearrangements mutually exclusive?
 
*Since all are variations, we handle each generically as a WBVar### object
 
*The distinction would just need to be made at the point of object creation
 
 
 
 
 
Anatomy Ontology
 
*Obsolete terms dumped from the Anatomy Ontology
 
*Will flag obsolete terms or try to remove from dump
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== July 28, 2011 ==
 
 
 
 
 
Condition Form
 
*No one is using
 
*Juancarlos will remove
 
 
 
 
 
Concise Description OA
 
*Almost done
 
*Can this be of use for other nematode (other species) groups?
 
*Those studying other nematode are collecting functionally relevant information for genes
 
 
 
 
 
Life Stage tags
 
*Do we need a species tag for Life Stages?
 
*How closely do different nematode species have similar or the same life stages (and stage names)?
 
*Example, Infective Juveniles (IJs) (analogous to dauer?)
 
*Example, are all "L1"s the same across species?
 
*Let's leave out the species tag for now
 
 
 
 
 
Tracking Gene Name Changes
 
*Juancarlos fixed script for tracking and updating gene names in the OA
 
*Names will still not be updated (in the OA) until the new release, so there will be a lag
 
*Solution for now is to look up WBGeneID in WormBase and query the OA using that
 
*(This came up because the official name of a gene changed and the OA hadn't caught up yet)
 
 
 
 
 
Concise Description records with no genes?
 
*Some invalid genes disappeared from the name server all together, but should have stayed in tagged as "obsolete"
 
 
 
 
 
Author First Pass forms for transgene
 
*Overexpression phenotype
 
*Transgene phenotype
 
 
 
 
 
Streamlining Molecule curation
 
*Karen gave Michael a list of molecules to run through Textpresso
 
*Can save sentences related to molecules
 
 
 
 
 
GSA
 
*FlyBase linking moving forward
 
*GO-term linking
 
**3 Papers have come through pipeline
 
**Curators will discuss once gone through
 
 
 
 
 
Outline for NAR paper in the works
 
 
 
 
 
WormBase paper for "Worm" journal
 
*"Fun" paper
 
*Discuss who we are and what is being done
 
 
 
 
 
Worm Breeder's Gazette
 
*WormBase can use Worm Breeder's Gazette as a forum for discussion
 
*We should have a presence for every Gazette
 
*Replacement for the news letter?
 
*SPELL related article? Virtual Worm?
 
 
 
 
 
SVM
 
*Ruihua will be here until late September
 
*We have an opportunity to update and tighten up the SVM code/process
 
*FlyBase interested in implementing
 
*Will take some effort to convert for fly
 
 
 
 
 
Expression Cluster Model
 
*Last week Wen finished processing Array Express microarray data
 
*Not a problem to keep up importing data from Array Express and GEO into SPELL
 
*Some authors do not provide spot IDs or respond to e-mails
 
*Gene IDs used rather than spot IDs
 
*New model will accommodate data from RNA-seq and tiling arrays (not just microarrays)
 
*Tag the Expression Cluster with applicable WormBase build/release for reference
 
*Capture treatment conditions (temperature, molecules, pathogens, etc.)

Leak in office

  • Emergency showers don't necessarily have drains
  • We need to make sure that things in offices are prepared for potential water leaks
  • Production server still running
  • Mangolassi down for the time being; will be back up when dry
  • Should call physical plant 24-hour emergency line (ext. 4717)
  • Feel free to check offices/labs above ours to assess risk of leak


Testing concise description OA on sandbox

  • Community annotation form needs to be very simple (e.g. gene name and empty box only)


Transgenomics pictures

  • Daniela spoke with Mihail about getting pictures from their database
  • We should know exactly what the clone is (sequence)
  • What are they using for anatomy annotation?
  • Linking to Yuji Kohara's database (NEXTDB)?


Gene file from Hinxton to populate Gene Tables

  • Kimberly working with Mary Ann Tuli and Michael Paulini to make sure each gene names are cleaned up


Raymond

  • Trying to install Amigo (for Ontology browsing)
  • Working on SPELL


SVM

  • Karen using author first pass list for priority
  • 2 out of 3 papers have not been flagged for phenotype; Why?
  • Michael setup a way to tag papers on Textpresso Dev if they've been processed by SVM
  • How do we make sure all papers go through SVM pipeline?


Replacing power supply on conference phone

  • Probably cannot fix
  • Need to buy new one
