=== WS270 Citace upload ===
 
* Next Tuesday, Jan 8th, 10am Pacific
 
  
=== Gene descriptions ===
+
== October 3, 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 ===
+
=== SObA comparison graphs ===
* Doodle poll open: https://doodle.com/poll/kn49rd3rggymn68g
+
* Raymond and Juancarlos have worked on a SObA-graph based comparison tool to compare two genes for ontology-based annotations
* Please fill out poll if you are interested in attending; have responses from Kimberly and Gary S.

* What information does a user most care about?
 +
# What terms (nodes) are annotated to gene 1 and what terms to gene 2
 +
# For a given term, what is the relative number of annotations between gene 1 and gene 2.
 +
# For a given node, what is the relative number of annotations each gene has to the total annotations of that gene.
 +
* # 3 is actually what we applied to size the nodes in the single-gene version of SObA. Thus, not surprisingly, I think it is important.
 +
* Generally people like Prototype 2 as a default view; we could possibly have a toggle to see the other view
 +
* In either case users need a good legend and/or documentation
 +
* Jae, it would be good if a user could specifically highlight nodes specific to each gene and gray-out or de-emphasize the common nodes
  
 +
=== Germ line discussion ===
 +
* Currently, the anatomy ontology has "germ line" as a type of "Cell" and a type of "Tissue", and "germ cell" as a type of "germ line"
 +
* Chris would like to (1) remove "germ line" from under "Cell" and leave it under "Tissue" and (2) move "germ cell" out from under "germ line" and place directly under "Cell"
 +
** [https://github.com/obophenotype/c-elegans-gross-anatomy-ontology/pull/23 Made pull request]
 +
* Chris will update pull request to include a change to move "germline precursor cell" out from under "germ line" and place it under "Cell" (done)
  
==January 11th, 2019==
+
=== Script to remove blank entries from Postgres ===
 +
* Chris stumbled across several entries in the OA that were blank (empty strings) or consisted of only whitespace, some of which were causing errors upon upload to ACEDB
 +
* Juancarlos has written a script to look for all such entries; 66 tables have them on sandbox (likely same on live OA)
 +
* Does anyone object to removing these entries throughout Postgres?
 +
* Juancarlos will remove all the empty fields identified by his script

Possible Title 1: Data in WormBase and how to query it
 
Possible Title 2: WormBase 2019 - Data, Tools and Community Curation
 
This workshop aims to give users an overview of the types of data in WormBase and how to query them using different tools. We will also present recent updates
 
to our community annotation forms where we have incorporated text-mining in order to improve ease of use of these forms.

+
** 1) At time of build, populate the papers (in ACEDB/Datomic) into a 'Putative_reference' tag and display in a distinct 'Putative references' widget
 +

 +
*** A link to Textpresso could be done regardless of other approaches; low-hanging fruit?

*** Do a diff so that Textpresso pulls up only additional papers (not already associated)?
 +
** 3) Could populate WB page with connections made through a Textpresso API call (could cache results? maybe, but might as well choose 1st option?)
 +
* Transgene pipeline:
 +
** Arun wrote script, matching transgene names (using regex; Is and Si transgenes) to papers, automatically populate OA
 +
** Another script, captures Ex transgenes as well, automatically connects to construct objects
 +
** WB only displays verified papers; unverified (predicted) associations are not dumped
 +
* Could integrate author verification as part of AFP pipeline, even for older papers? Would we want to re-request AFP results for authors that have already replied in the past? Probably not
 +
* Could embed AFP predictions in WB display with link to AFP form for authors (and others?) to verify, via logged-in users? Or via a validation token sent via email?
 +
* Chris will make GitHub ticket to ask WB web team to add a link to Textpresso search from References widget on respective page; will require a Textpresso URL constructor
 +
* Can apply to: genes, transgenes, constructs, strains, alleles, AFP-vetted entities

SObA comparison graphs

  1. What terms (nodes) are annotated to gene 1 and what terms to gene 2
  2. For a given term, what is the relative number of annotations between gene 1 and gene 2.
  3. For a given node, what is the relative number of annotations each gene has to the total annotations of that gene.
  • # 3 is actually what we applied to size the nodes in the single-gene version of SObA. Thus, not surprisingly, I think it is important.
  • Generally people like Prototype 2 as a default view; we could possibly have a toggle to see the other view
  • In either case users need a good legend and/or documentation
  • Jae, it would be good if a user could specifically highlight nodes specific to each gene and gray-out or de-emphasize the common nodes

Germ line discussion

  • Currently, the anatomy ontology has "germ line" as a type of "Cell" and a type of "Tissue", and "germ cell" as a type of "germ line"
  • Chris would like to (1) remove "germ line" from under "Cell" and leave it under "Tissue" and (2) move "germ cell" out from under "germ line" and place directly under "Cell"
  • Chris will update pull request to include a change to move "germline precursor cell" out from under "germ line" and place it under "Cell" (done)

Script to remove blank entries from Postgres

  • Chris stumbled across several entries in the OA that were blank (empty strings) or consisted of only whitespace, some of which were causing errors upon upload to ACEDB
  • Juancarlos has written a script to look for all such entries; 66 tables have them on sandbox (likely same on live OA)
  • Does anyone object to removing these entries throughout Postgres?
  • Juancarlos will remove all the empty fields identified by his script

SObA comparison tool

Textpresso derived paper connections

  • For example for strains and constructs, maybe anatomy terms?
  • May want to flag Textpresso predictions (as opposed to manually connected)
  • Couple of options:
    • 1) At time of build, populate the papers (in ACEDB/Datomic) into a 'Putative_reference' tag and display in a distinct 'Putative references' widget
    • 2) Not part of database build, but make associations live (using RESTful API to link out to Textpresso and submit search with URL) using Textpresso with links to Textpresso and Textpresso results, giving users chance to see context of matches in sentences at the Textpresso site
      • A link to Textpresso could be done regardless of other approaches; low-hanging fruit?
      • Do a diff so that Textpresso pulls up only additional papers (not already associated)?
    • 3) Could populate WB page with connections made through a Textpresso API call (could cache results? maybe, but might as well choose 1st option?)
  • Transgene pipeline:
    • Arun wrote script, matching transgene names (using regex; Is and Si transgenes) to papers, automatically populate OA
