FlyBase SAB topics
 
*Genome Space - can integrate data in different formats
 
**Cloud-based data integration
 
**File conversion done automatically - no need to write scripts
 
*FlyBase talking about joining [http://www.genomespace.org/ Genome Space]?
 
 
 
Protein-to-GO Tool
 
*Ranjana and Kimberly performing data checks for testing
 
*If file can get to Rachel and Tony, maybe can discuss this weekend (at GO meeting)
 
 
 
GO Annotator Tool
 
*Kimberly looking over
 
*James will make a couple slides to introduce tool and provide demo
 
**1-minute demo: can have file in XML/HTML format, can highlight, annotate a sentence, and save annotation as a link
 
***Demo: simpler = better
 
***Prepare for live feedback and discussion
 
 
 
Curation Status/Statistics Tool
 
*How many papers have given data types?
 
*How many papers have been curated, how many not?
 
*How many objects/connections do we have of a given type?
 
*How many objects per paper (average, distribution?)?
 
*Estimated number of objects/papers exist vs. how many we have curated?
 
*Do we care about types of flagging? Curator first pass, author first pass, etc? Yes
 
**All flagging types should be shown; combined and individual statistics would be useful
 
*Interactive form vs. static page showing curation/flagging statisitcs
 
*Tracking negatives (true vs false)
 
*Data types in OA vs not (microarray, Protein-to-GO output)
 
**Microarray data - Wen can write script to generate stats for microarray curation
 
*Curation stats per paper (Raymond): write comments in a remark field; traceable, transparent, available
 
 
 
Process pages
 
*GPML - may be able to automatically map Postgres data to GPML
 
*WikiPathways has color, formatting, labels, etc. so we can define types/views of different relationships (should follow standards)
 
*AWC-ON/AWC-OFF sample page: only single connection type; can be many different types, as we define it
 
*"Too many arrows" editorial?
 
 
 
Physical interaction curation
 
*On interaction OA (Tab2) physical interactions; 'Colocalizes', etc.
 
*Need to establish our data exchange with BioGRID; get BioGRID data in Postgres/OA (daily cronjob?)
 
*Interaction model was modeled to be compatible with BioGRID's data
 
*Revive curator first pass for physical interactions? To tag papers (in the meantime)
 
 
 
 
== October 11, 2012 ==
 
 
 
Molecules
 
*Changing to WBMolIDs
 
*OA dumpers need to be modified
 
 
 
GO Meeting
 
*How to make GO more expressive/inclusive
 
*How can GO represent more of the biology
 
*GO Extensions: LEGO
 
*Deeper annotations can help develop the "big picture"
 
*Phenotype-2-GO mapping: What is the purpose? How does it work?
 
**Broad vs specific term mapping; how good is the mapping?
 
 
 
CSHace merge with CITace?
 
*PCR_product info discrepancies
 
*CITace data was overwriting CSHace data, but changed
 
*8 classes of data in CSHace
 
*CSHace data had never been read into CITace minus
 
*Proposal: read CSHace data into ACEDB and then read in CITace minus data (which would overwrite CSHace data with CITace data where there is a conflict)
 
*Can we assume that all CITace data is better/newer/more-up-to-date than CSHace data?
 
 
 
Consensus Sequence tag in PWM model
 
*OK to add, but leave as 'Text' not '?Text'
 
*DNA_text field instead? Xiaodong will run by EBI
 
*This data is denormalized from a PWM if both are provided
 
*Should only be used if no PWM is provided
 
*Perhaps this should not be added
 
 
 
== October 25, 2012 ==
 
 
 
Curation Stats Table
 
*Can be viewed (on sandbox) here: http://mangolassi.caltech.edu/~postgres/cgi-bin/curation_status.cgi
 
*Click on the button "Curation Statistics Page"
 
*Will show overall statistics per data type as well as per flagging method
 
*Working out details/aesthetics of display
 
 
 
WS235 Upload next Thursday (Nov 1)
 
 
 
Microarrays
 
*24 new datasets
 
*Five new species
 
*We want to perform cluster analysis for end users (SPELL itself not capable)
 
 
 
PWM/PFM data
 
*~5000 PFM/PWM data objects in .ace files from Stormo data set
 
*How the motif finder tool should work? (without using 1000s of GBrowse tracks?)
 
*Single GBrowse track that consolidates all PFMs/PWMs; one track with all 'binding sites' above threshold?
 
*Another tool to look for, for example, co-occurrence?
 
 
 
Disease info
 
*Adding 'Disease_relevant_info' tag in Gene model
 
*Human ortholog pulled from OMIM by Hinxton/EBI
 
 
 
Ranjana will do a blog item every Thursday
 
*Doing series heading, e.g. "Developments to GO"
 
**Updates could fall under same headings to organize blog posts
 
 
 
New RNAi clones from Ahringer lab
 
*Working with Kevin Howe as to how the new PCR_product and Oligo objects should be created and stored
 
*Ultimately would like (for all RNAi clones) to have a one-to-one mapping of best RNAi clones for a gene
 
*Gene pages could then display "THE" RNAi clone for a gene per library (e.g. Vidal or Ahringer), along with resource address/location
 
*If multiple clones per gene, indicate which clone is unique to that gene
 
 
 
Protein-2-GO Tool
 
*Gene-product-information file
 
*Working with other MODs
 
 
 
Transgenes up to date
 
 
 
Legacy phenotypes
 
*Still have ~800 legacy phenotypes to add through phenotype curation
 
 
 
Process pages
 
*Karen writing summaries for processes
 
*People can help cull the list and/or help write summaries
 
*Look at Processes in the Process OA by querying for "Karen" as a curator
 
*Connecting to relevant papers (reviews, research articles, WormBook chapters/abstracts)
 
*Linking to WikiPathways, Reactome?
 
*What should be editable by users/broader community?

SPELL data

  • Including new RNA-seq datasets
  • Comparing different RNA-seq datasets


Dedicated ~2 weeks for issues

  • Dedicated time during release cycle to fix bugs and address GitHub issues


Intermine

  • JD Wong started at WormBase this week; will focus on building WormBase instance of Intermine
  • Developed FlyBase Intermine instance
  • Once in place, we can build pre-canned queries that we can embed in WormBase pages (maybe in response to help desk inquiries)
    • E.g. Display meta information for a gene; "How many genes show this phenotype?"
  • We have resources provisioned for building and hosting
  • Low hanging fruit: access to ontologies, gene models, phenotypes, homology, orthology (things already made for Intermine)
  • Focus first on central dogma stuff


SAB Meeting

  • January 28th, 29th, 2013
  • At Caltech


Concise description template

  • Curator version versus a community (simpler) version
  • 1) Transfer info from elegans to other species
  • 2) Updates
  • Easier to script when there is little information; harder when lots of info


Pathways

  • Karen spoke to Alex Pico
  • There could be tagged for "WormBase-approved" pathways
  • Would be good to have worm community also contribute; "Community Pathways" widget
  • Conflict resolution? There could be many contributions to the same pathway
  • Is there a way to pull up conflicting versions of a pathway?
  • Open system: any registered user can modify any pathway


Community Annotation

  • Possibilities?
  • Concise descriptions, pathways, what else?
  • Expression patterns?
  • Tables/templates of suggested data/types that authors could/should submit for a paper
  • Annotation Apps? iPhone, Android, etc.
    • Controlled vocabulary, virtual worm, AMIGO ontology browser, etc.
  • Annotation on tablets, other mobile devices? Read only?
  • Web app versus native app
  • Open Badges for micro-attribution, incentives
  • ORCID for unique person IDs
  • Possible Ontology Annotator version for community?
  • Templates/forms would need to be very straight-forward and simple to use
  • Maybe display a form alongside web display to inform users of how the two relate
  • Training users: tutorials, workshops (2013 IWM?)
  • Daily updates to website could be more satisfying for users
