Concise descriptions
 
*Concise descriptions tool as a pilot for community annotation
 
*How can concise descriptions be generated on an automated basis?
 
*Prioritize with genes with little to no known information
 
*Focus on genes in other species
 
*GBrowse-visible description (30 character limit)
 
*Complex gene information will still be best handled manually
 
*''Brugia malayi'' good starting point; Also, ''Pristionchus'' and ''C. briggsae''
 
*Ralf Sommer would help generate concise descriptions
 
*Working with ''Brugia'' community already
 
*Could we select what type of GBrowse description is visible (potential drug targets, molecular function (GO term?), secreted proteases, resistance locus, etc.)? Using radio buttons, for example?
 
*Use GO annotations in automated fashion?
 
*Parasitic worm vs. Free-living worm descriptions (host, drugs, species-specific genes, etc.)
 
*30-character controlled vocabulary for genes?
 
*Annotate (and then display) based on drug sensitivity, resistance, no effect? Show "potential" drug interactions?
 
*Icons on genes indicating drug interaction, for example
 
 
 
 
 
PAINT meeting
 
*Ranjana going to next week
 
*PAINT: Panther tree-based transfer of GO annotations across species
 
*Orthologs/paralogs adopt annotations
 
 
 
 
 
AMIGO update
 
*Can display our ontologies now
 
*User interface may take some time
 
*Would be best if Raymond could work with a programmer (Juancarlos?)
 
 
 
 
 
Remark field display issues
 
*Todd commented that he would like the "Remark" and "Summary" fields to display similar type of info across all pages/objects/data-types
 
*Transgene curation (and others?) may need adjustment to what goes in the "Summary" and "Remark" field
 
*May create new tag to accommodate info?
 
 
 
 
 
Upload
 
*Data upload will be Dec 20th
 
*Database build will happen second week of Janurary
 
 
 
 
 
= December 13, 2012 =
 
 
 
PAINT Meeting
 
*Looking at whole tree of all genes across all species
 
*Applying gene (GO) annotations across all species
 
*Broad perspective
 
*Annotations help PAINT, PAINT helps annotations
 
*"Viewing the tree"
 
*GO annotations can be applied/dragged onto most recent common ancestor, and PAINT fills the annotation in to all genes in between
 
*Feature requests discussed
 
*Subfamilies/subclades color-coded for easier viewing
 
*Annotation matrix to view along with tree
 
*Molecular functions most readily conserved; processes less so (cell component intermediate)
 
*Reliability/prioritization of annotations: molecular function -> cell component -> biological process
 
*How much is rule-based? How is Quality Control handled/established?
 
*Liberal vs Conservative annotations; try to back up with literature
 
*"Triangulation" tools
 
*Good rules could replace manual annotation with automated annotation
 
*Automatic quality-control e-mailing
 
*Sample annotating of gene families
 
**Nitric oxide synthase
 
**Some transcription factors
 
**Some enzymes
 
*Panther trees describe relationships between genes, but really use proteins to make associations
 
*Duplications? How to annotate? Tricky; requires some literature searching
 
*Key annotations: species-specific genes/proteins for (relatively) sparsely annotated species; identifying unknowns, high value annotations
 
 
 
 
 
WormBase GO progress report
 
*Kimberly working on; will send out to relevant people
 
 
 
 
 
Common GO Annotation Tool
 
*Uniprot tool: Protein-2-GO?
 
*Adopt aspects of the WormBase Ontology Annotator
 
*Some MODs are heavily embedded in an in-house tool
 
*Good to have a general common tool for all data types
 
 
 
 
 
AMIGO 2 Ontology Browser
 
*Would like to develop feedback cycle of use/development
 
*Versioning issues
 
*Branching off of current AMIGO 2
 
*Seth wouldn't want anatomy or phenotype terms showing up in his ontologies
 
 
 
 
 
= December 20, 2012 =
 
 
 
 
 
SPELL
 
*Athena updated to Ubuntu 4, not compatible with old Ruby
 
*SPELL still runs on older Ruby/Rails
 
*Difficulty updating code to accommodate OS change
 
*Currently building database on Athena and migrating to other machine
 
*Will continue running the older Ubuntu OS for now
 
*Front end is Ruby, back end is Java; maybe somehow ditch Ruby layer
 
*Proficient Ruby programmer could (maybe) upgrade the SPELL code appropriately
 
*What are other MODs (SGD?) doing? How can we emulate that?
 
*Also: there are some queries we would like to be able to perform that SPELL doesn't currently provide
 
**Develop another interface/query functionality?
 
**Use intermine? Intermine does not have good microarray data module
 
**Integration with other data types
 
**Query example: Find genes that have similar expression profile and physical interaction?
 
*Will try to contact Matthew Hibbs for update
 
*Do Matt et al have description of the API that we could look at, use?
 
 
 
 
 
AMIGO 2
 
*Juancarlos and Raymond still working on
 
*Juancarlos communicating with Seth
 
*Need to work out smooth architectural design so Juancarlos can work on code at our end, we can test locally
 
*AMIGO/Seth wants to move to Git version system
 
*Next, get at annotation info/files so that annotation data can be attached/linked to the ontology terms
 
*Seth said in ~month transitioning to new/stable version of software
 
 
 
 
 
Process Pages
 
*Karen and JD working on
 
*Karen explained what should be displayed, where and how on the page
 
*Mark Perry had worked on/developed display stuff for Molecules
 
*Should be complete for SAB meeting
 
 
 
 
 
Images on Staging
 
*Images are not displaying on the staging site
 
*Daniela will generate a GitHub ticket
 
 
 
 
 
Disease Ontology
 
*DO terms going to citace/ACEDB for upload
 
*Upgrading OBO files as well?
 
*Now we make the OBO files generally available to community
 
*Curation will produce association files (connecting terms to genes)
 
*Association files in GAF format? (AMIGO-useable format)
 
 
 
 
 
WormBase Ontology Browser
 
*What are the specs/features we want for an ontology/DAG browser?
 
*Have we settled on AMIGO? Yes, pretty much
 
*Can it handle Phenotype ontology, etc. (non-GO ontologies)?
 
*AMIGO 2 is more pliable than older AMIGO for these types of ontologies
 
*AMIGO 2 Documentation already put together by AMIGO 2 developers;
 
*Raymond has been and will document WormBase specific integration efforts
 
*Intermine doesn't have an ontology browser functionality
 
*Write grant?
 
*National Center for Biomedical Ontologies: do they have a preferred web app/display?
 
*Querying ontologies with integrated annotation/association data (e.g.), not available
 
*Can AMIGO 2 query information across multiple ontologies (DO, GO, WPO, etc.)? Don't know yet, but would be useful
 
*Term-enrichment functionality? Not currently available through AMIGO

*Kimberly and Juancarlos have been working on
 
*Specs put together this week
 
*Form can communicate with Protein-2-GO
 
*Should have something next year
 
 
 
Nematode Textpresso
 
*Textpresso 2.5 vs 2.0 changes
 
*Free up disk space
 
*Will then move data over (from Brama) to Textpresso-Dev
 
*Should be done before SAB meeting
 
*Once public, we can ask other groups what types of ontologies would be helpful

*Almost ready to be live on Tazendra
 
*Need to check the newest SVM results on *.main vs *.concat
 
*Documentation on Wiki:  http://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/New_2012_Curation_Status
 
*Do Paper Editor modifications (e.g. False Positive flagging) transfer to the Curation Status tool? No, if you have entered data, contact Juancarlos about how you want it transferred
 
*We need to discuss consolidation/coordination of functionality across the various CGIs
 
 
 
 
 
Allele curation
 
*Curation prioritization: Genes that haven't been described (e.g. no phenotype)
 
*Exclude large-scale results?
 
*RNAi results? Ignore, consider, compare?

Legacy alleles
 
*Karen transferring descriptions from C. elegans I, II, into database
 
*Down to ~430 legacy alleles in queue
 
*Community/expert input on reference alleles, etc.
 
*Still missing some info as it doesn't fit in data model
 
*Concise descriptions of alleles/variations? Scripted to pull some standard info
 
*Allelic series info has been going into Remark, although maybe not optimal (series of phenotypes?)
 
 
 
 
 
Parasitic Strains from Peter Hunt
 
*Karen put info in for parasitic nematode strains
 
*Incorporating drug-resistance/sensitivity effects on different parasite strains
 
*Phenotype: drug resistance ; cross-referenced to drug name (or drug class name) via chemical ontology
 
*Chemical classes; chemical SLIM ontology terms
