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, Transgene-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
      • Users should be able to run clustering on data
      • Co-expression correlation; should recalculate each build (with flexible significance thresholds)
      • Provide Cytoscape view of genes connected by co-expression
    • Pathways and Processes
      • Plan to work with Wikipathways
      • Vocabularies and annotation schemes like Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN)
      • Trying to get data into BioPAX (Biological PAthway eXchange) format
      • BioPAX too detail oriented? Very biochemical?
      • Some databases dump BioPAX format, but won't read it in
    • Paper and curation pipeline
    • Concise description progress; coverage
      • Re-annotation efforts?
      • New concise description curation interface for easier writing and updating
    • Annotating genes in the more expressive GO format
      • How would our data models need to change to curate with the new expressive GO
    • SVMs
  • Suggestions for future
    • Better integration across data types
    • How the OA can evolve and what it can be used for?
