WORM paper

  • Sorted out at conference call
  • EBI will take lead on rewrite
  • We want a paper on the new website to go to a broader audience


Interaction model

  • Almost sorted out and working
  • Chris & Kimberly will discuss


Elsevier linking (images)

  • Caltech attorney's want the agreement with Elsevier to be under US law
  • Usage data relating to Elsevier content access must be deleted within 3 months(???)
  • Should not be an issue?


Local AQL queries

  • Running on Caltech mirror? Currently getting an error: "Connection closed by remote server"
  • Can run AQL from xace on spica


December 8, 2011

Bio Curator Meeting

  • In Washington DC next April
  • Wen will send an abstract on SPELL
  • Kimberly, Arun and Michael will be there as well
  • Abstracts to submit: 3 in total (Kimberly, Arun, Wen)


WomrBase curator ad officially posted


WormBase meeting announcement

  • What is our policy? Should we send info to everyone?
  • We can send to PIs only
  • Meeting announcements are an appropriate use of the list (if a bonafide C. elegans meeting)


Beta site Protein Page review

  • Common protein name e.g. 'UNC-26' or 'Synaptojanin'
  • Use GO curation, PAINT/PANTHER tool to assign name?
  • What's the best method (automated, if possible) to assign a useful name?
  • Refer to Uniprot for names; can EBI pull names directly from Uniprot?
  • GO: Molecular Function and Cell Component are annotated to gene, in some cases an isoform is attributed
  • Want to enable curation to isoforms when info is available


Interactions

  • Interaction model still being tweaked
  • Will try to 'swallow up' Gene Regulation objects and tags into main Interaction model
  • #Interaction_info and #Interacor_info may be removed


Anatomy nomenclature discrepancies

  • Oliver Hobert raised issue of consistency of names
  • For example, sometimes "DA neurons" refers to dopamine neurons as opposed to the anatomical 'DA' neuron
  • DA neurons are actually cholinergic
  • Maybe post on the blog
  • Make synonym for dopaminergic neuron as 'DA neuron'?


Citace upload date (WS230)?

  • Monday, December 19th
  • Scripts to be run manually


GSA Markup at FlyBase

  • Flybase's role in markup and QC?
  • 3 month notice to stop curator QC at FB
  • FB curators do not want to QC, even with the 'QCFast' tool
  • How to make the tool user-friendly for authors?
