− | *Grant gets reviewed next week
| |
− | *Should hear results in ~two weeks

− | Gene Concise Description form
| |
− | *Ranjana, Kimberly working on form layout
| |
− | *Easy to use form, simple drop down menus to select, e.g., Species
| |
− | *Can users follow references for info?
| |
− | *Citing references in concise descriptions has, in the past, greatly increased workload/time to write
| |
− | *Prepopulated, precanned Textpresso info?
| |
− | *Send out to targeted members of the community, get feedback; Who should we ask for other species?
| |
− | *Curators could each try using form to make at least one concise descriptions, give feedback
| |
− | *Prepopulation: Display all (key?) experimental info on gene from WormBase, some Textpresso info like "ABC-1 encodes..."
| |
− | *Can promote form at the International meeting

− | Galaxy Workshop
| |
− | *Screencast videos capturing use of Galaxy available
| |
− | *Chris will send around
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Genetic Interaction Ontology
| |
− | *Perhaps add "what is expected" info during curation?
| |
− | *Good to have a comparison of curation with core set of common papers
| |
− | **Cross check for consistency of curation (at least terms should lay in same lineage, if not at same depth)

− | Cleaning up Citace Minus
| |
− | *Stemming from Paul Davis' GitHub ticket pointing out small-scale data problems
| |
− | *Bogus molecule objects (Chris will take care of)
| |
− | *Homol_data from RNAi (and the housing RNAi objects) can be removed
| |
− | *Ghost Expr_pattern objects, Wen taking care of (Xiaodong will remove from the Gene_regulation OA)
| |
− | *Will need to create a better (more robust) pipeline (with SOPs) for converting, for example, object names to WBID#'s
| |
− | **Once a conversion has been made, we need to check Postgres and Citace (& Citace Minus) for consistency
| |
− | **Need to minimize the burden on Wen to perform quality and consistency checks
| |
− | **Curators need to clean up/fix their data before a big change
| |
− | **Scenarios to foramlize:
| |
− | ***Whole-class name changing
| |
− | ***Model changes
| |
− | *Is there a list of classes (and objects?) that are held in Citace Minus?
| |
− | **Cross-references create complexity
| |
− | *We will suggest shifting the phase of the model proposal cycle: Propose to freeze all models one month before upload
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Queries
| |
− | *AQL vs WQL vs AcePerl
| |
− | *We may consider working out more formal pipelines for submitting queries (maybe to Wen?)
| |
− | *AQL and WQL convenient but not necessarily efficient
| |
− | *AcePerl efficient, but has a learning curve
| |
− | *Todd highly recommends learning AcePerl as it has many advantages:
| |
− | **Learning AcePerl will provide skills to handle other generic queries
| |
− | **Whereas AQL and WQL will be obsolete when we leave ACeDB, AcePerl will still be useful (even if the details need updating)
| |
− | **Curators have GitHub access to all the AcePerl scripts, including those that generate FTP files
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Under Testing
| |
− | *The "Under Testing" tag on GitHub issues is applied when something needs to be tested
| |
− | *Curators can filter for "Under Testing" issues and close them as they determine they are resolved

− | Protein browsing
| |
− | *KOGs vs eggNOG; eggNOG may be the most current
| |
− | *Would be nice to be able to (for each species or all species in WormBase) browse protein sets as orthologous groups by functional classification
| |
− | *Need to investigate
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Microarray data
| |
− | *Data that were not provided (no changes observed in an experiment) leaves gaps in data
| |
− | *SPELL requires data for each experiment/probe (regardless of observation of change)
| |
− | *FTP site for downloads of data (independent from, but related to, SPELL); Wen needs regular access to
| |
− | **Can be hosted at Caltech FTP site (Todd can mirror over to main FTP site)
| |
− | *Add explanatory page to SPELL site
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Dead genes
| |
− | *Historical_gene tag will be added to several class models: ?Interaction, ?Transgene, ?Antibody, etc.
| |
− | *How to handle GO annotations? GO will have mapping from proteins to GO terms, no need for new tag
| |
− | *Chris will send around model proposal to add the tag to relevant models
| |
− | *Curators will need to coordinate with Juancarlos how their respective OA dumpers should work
