=== WS270 Citace upload ===
 
* Next Tuesday, Jan 8th, 10am Pacific
 
  
=== Gene descriptions ===
+
== September 12, 2019 ==
* Valerio generated new files to ignore/filter-out problematic genes
 
* Still need to validate new pipeline
 
* Barring any major issues, will submit new files for WS270 (can load old files if needed)
 
* Maybe should define a test set (random sample) to test each release? Already have a test set
 
  
=== Protege Tutorial ===
+
=== Update on SVM pipeline ===
* Doodle poll open: https://doodle.com/poll/kn49rd3rggymn68g
+
* New SVM pipeline: more analysis and more parameter tuning
* Please fill out poll if you are interested in attending; have responses from Kimberly and Gary S.
+
* avoiding precision (and F-value) as a measure (dependent on ratio of positives and negatives in test set)
 +
* For example shown, "dumb" machine starts out with precision above 0.6
 +
* G-value (Michael's invention); does not depend on distribution of sets
 +
* Applied to various data types
 +
* Analysis: 10-fold cross validation
 +
** Randomly select 10% pos and neg (without replacement) and repeat until all papers sampled
 +
* F-value changes over different p/n values; G-value does not (essentially flat)
 +
* Area Under the Curve (AUC): probability that a random positive scores higher than random negative
 +
* AUC values for many WB data types upper 80%'s into 90%'s
 +
* Ranjana: How many papers for a good training set? Michael: we don't know yet
 +
* Can't reproduce old training sets (for old SVM); provide Michael better training sets if you want improved SVM
 +
* If SVM still not good enough, Michael will work on deep neural networks (Tensor Flow)
 +
* Michael can provide training sets he has used recently
  
 +
=== Clarifying definitions of "defective" and "deficient" for phenotypes ===
 +
* WB phenotype ontology has many "variant/abnormal" terms and distinct subclass terms for "defective/deficient"
 +
* Have tried to create a logical definition pattern for these terms, but the vagueness of the meaning of "defective" and how it is distinct from "abnormal" has stalled the process
 +
* What do we mean exactly by "defective" and how, specifically, is this distinct from "abnormal"?
 +
* Definitions include meanings or words:
 +
** "Variations in the ability"
 +
** "aberrant"
 +
** "defect"
 +
** "defective"
 +
** "defects"
 +
** "deficiency"
 +
** "deficient"
 +
** "disrupted"
 +
** "impaired"
 +
** "incompetent"
 +
** "ineffective"
 +
** "perturbation that disrupts"
 +
** Failure to execute the characteristic response = abnormal?
 +
** abnormal
 +
** abnormality leading to specific outcomes
 +
** fail to exhibit the same taxis behavior = abnormal?
 +
** failure
 +
** failure OR delayed
 +
** failure, slower OR late
 +
** failure/abnormal
 +
** reduced

** slower

Possible Title 1: Data in WormBase and how to query it
 
Possible Title 2: WormBase 2019 - Data, Tools and Community Curation
 
This workshop will be an interactive session with users in order to discuss the types of data in WormBase and how to query them using specific tools.  We will discuss recent changes to WormBase community annotation forms and how to use them to contribute data to WormBase.  We will also present updates to ParaSite, a portal to parasitic worm genomic data, and how to find cross-species data at the Alliance of Genome Research.
 
  
1:00 pm

=== New name server ===
Keep your widgets open: a wealth of data on the gene page - Ranjana Kishore
+
* When will this officially go live?
(This will be a quick introduction of the gene page for orienting Users before we jump into the tools section)
+
* Will we now be able to request strain IDs through the server? Yes
     
 
1:05 pm 
 
Use the right tool for the right data:
 
Get simple lists using SimpleMine - Wen Chen
 
Tools for RNA seq data - Wen Chen
 
Tools for enrichment analysis - Kimberly Van Auken
 
Get batch gene data using the WormBase Ontology Browser - Raymond Lee
 
Get the big picture: visualize annotations using the SOBA tool - Raymond Lee
 
     
 
1.45-2.00 pm 
 
WormBase ParaSite: Exploring lots of genomes - Kevin Howe
 
  
Find cross-species data at the Alliance of Genome Research - Chris Grove
+
=== SObA Graphs ===
 +
* New graphs now live on site (Expression, Gene Ontology, Human Diseases, Phenotypes)
 +
* A lot of whitespace padding above and below graph; maybe trim? trimming vertically would ultimately limit the view pane when user wants to zoom in, so we should leave as is for now
 +
* Diff tool: Raymond and Juancarlos created a prototype diff tool (for comparing two genes, for example)
 +
** Paul: compared two genes that should be very similar, but there are a lot of differences; may reflect annotation coverage rather than biology
  
Be a Community Curator: submit your data to WormBase - Daniela Raciti
 
  
2.00-2.30pm. Open forum for questions

=== Finalize Protege tutorial time ===
+
=== Strains ===
* Best final options:
+
* Need to wait for new strain IDs from Hinxton before running dumping scripts
** Wed, Jan 16th, 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern
+
* Don't edit multi-ontology strain fields in OA for now!
** Thurs, Jan 17th, 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern
+
* Juancarlos will map free text and ontology-name strain entries to strain IDs once we have the complete mapping file
** Thurs, Jan 17th, 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern
+
* "Requested strain" field in Disease OA; not dumped, so don't need to worry about right now
* Propose we go with Wed, Jan 16th, 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern
 
  
=== Automated descriptions ===
+
=== Alliance literature curation ===
* Distinguishing information rich vs. poor genes
+
* Working group will be formed soon
* Information poor genes can take advantage of information across MODs/species
+
* Will work out general common pipelines for literature curation
* Need more robust QC pipeline; can work on for WormBase, and later apply to Alliance once worked out
 
* Working on expression statements for Alliance genes
 
* Considering rearrangement of description so disease features more prominently
 
  
=== Disease curation ===
+
=== SObA Graph relations ===
* Working on how to best integrate molecule effects
+
* Currently only integrating over "is a", "part of" and "regulates"
* Considering SVM for disease; current paper flagging pipeline insufficient
+
* Maybe we could provide users an option to specify which relations to include, or maybe just exclude "regulates"
** 200 papers as positive training set available
 
* Results section are not being extracted in latest Textpresso (paper sectioning in general not happening)
 
  
=== Noctua / GO-CAM ===
+
=== Author First Pass ===
* Making progress on best practices
+
* Putting together paper for AFP
* Can use Noctua to generate GO annotations
+
* Reviewing all user input for paper
* Starting to incorporate proteins
+
* Asking individual curators to check input
* Working with an ever changing Noctua platform; bugs emerge as it is developed; may benefit from frozen release of the software
 
* Next month or two, will import entire set of C. elegans GO annotations into Noctua
 
** Many decisions to make: how to model?
 
** Each gene will become a single Noctua model; not linked to each other initially
 
** Working on batch updates/uploads to Noctua
