Grant updates

  • Topics
    • Diseases
    • Worm Phenotype ontology; attempt applying to other species? Some has been done already (e.g. C. briggsae)
      • Benefit of curating phenotypes in other species? Particularly useful for genes not in C. elegans, for example
    • Textpresso for nematodes
      • >5000 papers now
      • Complete set of papers by ~Labor Day
    • Anatomy ontology
      • Anatomy page is hub for data
        • We should strive for user friendly display of information
        • Cell functions, 10 or 100 highest/preferentially expressed genes, cell connections, cell signals
      • Upcoming challenge - male/female/hermaphrodite divergence
      • Anatomy with respect to life stage (e.g. life-stage-specific cells)
      • Multiple species
      • Uberon framework can be adapted for multiple (nematode) species
    • Gene Function
      • RNAi, Allele-phenotype, etc.
    • Interactions
      • Integrated interaction model, genetic interaction ontology
      • Can we estimate how many interactions are left to curate? Can use OA/Postgres, SVM, and first-pass author forms etc. to estimate
    • Gene expression and Pictures
      • Need to update Gene expression model to accommodate Epic dataset (John Murray), 3D movies (Bill Mohler), and single-molecule FISH (van Oudenarden et al)
      • Itai Yania dataset (embryo expression across several nematode species)
      • Expression SVM won't catch isolated tissue/cells expression analysis or microarray data
      • Incorporating the virtual worm and browser
    • Microarray and SPELL
      • Will incorporate microarray and RNA-Seq data sets for other species
      • Should let users download search results more easily (for single genes, for example)
      • Need to change SPELL database to incorporate new species



  • Suggestions for future
    • Better integration across data types
    • How the OA can evolve and what it can be used for?
