Noctua

• Use for all literature curation in future?
• We would need to see how it could be used for all data types
• We would also want a full-time developer working on Noctua; maybe bring Juancarlos into the project

SPELL

• SPELL related data - how to deal with?
  • Data: recalculated, mapping, results dependent on SPELL
  • Analysis (clustering tool): clunky, freezes w/limited resources
• Wen will work with Juancarlos to generate a SimpleMine-like tool for downloading data sets
• Wen has to remove log files to make space on machine
• ~360 data sets
• Current virtual machine has 10G memory; is becoming limiting
• SPELL has lots of dependencies; difficult to account for them all when building SPELL
• Would be good if we could setup a new (larger) virtual machine to run SPELL; how much time/resources do we want to spend on it?

Micropublications

• Poster at Zebrafish meeting pointing to micropublications
• Microarray micropublications? Unpublished results
• Can make links to GEO submissions
• Daniela and Karen can draw up a mock publication to look at as a template

Community Curation

• Considering sending requests to only one person, first author when have info
• This should allow for more emails to be sent out per week, and more submissions, even if we maintain the 16% response rate
• Chris will work with Juancarlos once he's back from vacation
• What's next data type? Interactions? Site of action? Anatomy?
• What's required for site of action? Phenotype, gene, cell/tissue where gene is introduced or removed
