IWM 2013
 
*Abstracts for posters (6 posters total)
 
*WormBase booth with desks and poster space
 
**How is the space going to be configured?
 
**Will there be enough space?
 
*Projector? Need space to project
 
*Standing tables instead of desks
 
 
 
 
 
IWM Promotional ideas
 
*Recycle ideas/items
 
*See what we have in stock
 
*Temporary tattoos?
 
*SPlit cost with GSA?
 
*Mugs?
 
*Triangular worm pick/pencil grip
 
 
 
 
 
Expression pattern, personal communication
 
*Can we include expression patterns from WormBook?
 
**Original report from paper by Chris Li et al
 
**Conflicting neuropeptide expression pattern from Oliver Hobert & Cori Bargmann in WormBook
 
*How do we handle? Can we put description in WormBase?
 
*Normally we don't curate from reviews
 
*Best to contact Chris Li, check with her about expression pattern
 
*Amend/Edit expression pattern as appropriate
 
 
 
 
 
Function, Human Disease poster
 
*"Gene Function & Dysfunction"
 
*Concise description
 
*GO terms
 
*Phenotypes (RNAi- and variation-based)
 
*Anatomy: Site of Action and Anatomy Function
 
 
 
 
 
Variation list
 
*Handling large number of variations in OA
 
*Generating list of variations likely to be attributed with phenotypes
 
*Table maker vs Scripts?
 
*Variation data from GeneAce, how frequently updated? Real time?
 
*Get new variations from Variation Name Server, not GeneAce
 
*Is it worth trying to get daily updates?
 
*Name Server: get Variation & Gene info from
 
*Propose adding the Variation-Gene connections to Name Server
 
*Can we (Caltech) mirror/copy GeneAce locally? Fire wall issues
 
*Store MySQL databases on the cloud? Bypass fire walls? Maybe for long term plan
 
 
 
 
 
= April 11, 2013 =
 
 
 
IWM abstracts
 
*Deadline tomorrow
 
*Topics to place posters under? Database, biological topics?
 
*Registration
 
**What's the status?
 
**Karen made a Google doc, but asked us to hold off on filling out info until she talks to Mary Alvarez
 
 
 
 
 
Upload coming up
 
*Wen preparing mid-build
 
*Wen pushing Citace Minus fixes
 
 
 
 
 
Dead gene handling
 
*Historical_gene tag has been added to appropriate models
 
*Chris will work with Juancarlos to sort out OA dumping scripts for Gene_regulation and Interaction OAs
 
*Chris will work with web team to sort out web display issues
 
*Chris will write up a template describing all the changes that need to be made
 
 
 
 
 
Computers
 
*Raymond setup FTP directory for Wen
 
*If anyone wants an FTP folder, we can do that
 
*Would exist on caltech.wormbase.org on Canopus
 
*Spica: WS237 was having problems
 
**Couple of issues with Spica: older hardware, using older operating system (Red Hat)
 
**ACEDB software problem
 
***Possible but difficult to upgrade ACEDB software
 
***Not yet resolved issue with XACE or AcePerl, but AceDiff is resolved
 
**WS237 had a data problem
 
***Raymond re-installed WS database
 
*Mac issues: key mapping (e.g. Alt+F4)
 
**Solution? Use virtual machine?
 
**VMWare has Fusion; apparently works fairly well
 
**Mac users could install, for example, Ubuntu with Fusion and run ACEDB on Ubuntu
 
**Raymond is confident in providing support for this approach
 
*Running ACEDB remotely is possible, but probably not a long-term, robust, or sustainable solution
 
*Note: ACEDB needs to be built from source; binary images don't work
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
= April 25, 2013 =
 
 
 
IWM Meeting
 
*Posters and talk(s)
 
*We may not be able to get booth space to accommodate all (6) posters AND a projection screen
 
*Todd and Chris will discuss with Anne Marie Mahoney
 
 
 
 
 
Upload Schedule
 
*Need better upload/release schedule
 
*Add more events: Citace testing?
 
*Strict vs flexible timeline?
 
*Proposed timeline on [http://timeglider.com/ Time Glider] app: [http://timeglider.com/timeline/cacc0f6f4491a510 Karen's proposal]
 
 
 
 
 
WormBase You Tube Channel
 
*Abby and Todd looking into this now
 
*Macs running OSX Lion or higher have a good screen capture functionality with Quicktime (for free)
 
*We can prepare videos with content for the upcoming workshops
 
 
 
 
 
Capturing curation pipeline documentation on [https://github.com/WormBase/wormbase-curation GitHub WormBase curation repository]
 
*Store scripts for OA dumping scripts, for example
 
*Can keep links to relevant Wiki pages
 
*Curators should be the ultimate manager of scripts, working with Juancarlos to make any required changes
 
*Karen will work out a procedure for "Gitifying" her curation pipelines and will share what worked with other curators
