=== Worm Area Meetings ===
+
== February 6, 2020 ==
* Chris has (re)requested slots for WormBase for the Worcester Area Worm Meeting and the Boston Area Worm Meeting

=== Reference widget Textpresso linkouts ===
+
=== Worcester Area Worm Meeting talk ===
* Now live on WormBase, WS274
+
* Confirmed for December 2020 or February 2021
* [https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/7347 GitHub ticket]
 
* Applies to the following classes: genes, strains, variations, transgenes, constructs, anatomy terms, clones, life stages, rearrangements, molecules, processes
 
* Gene example: https://wormbase.org/species/c_elegans/gene/WBGene00022861#0d--10
 
* Strain example: https://wormbase.org/species/c_elegans/strain/WBStrain00004309#05--10
 
* Variation example: https://wormbase.org/species/c_elegans/variation/WBVar00248884#08--10
 
* Transgene example: https://wormbase.org/species/all/transgene/WBTransgene00004654#04--10
 
** Known issue: searching on synonyms in addition to public name; Sibyl will fix
 
* Construct example: https://wormbase.org/species/all/construct/WBCnstr00023113#03--10
 
** Known issue: not working now; need to only search on public name when available, not on summary; Sibyl will fix
 
* Anatomy term example: https://wormbase.org/species/all/anatomy_term/WBbt:0005772#05--10
 
** Known challenge: "Psub1" will essentially never match the intended target and "P1" may find the embryonic cell or the postembryonic cell
 
* Clone example: https://wormbase.org/species/c_elegans/clone/W02C12#03--10
 
* Life stage example: https://wormbase.org/species/all/life_stage/WBls:0000038#03--10
 
** Known challenge: "L4 larva Ce" will never match; "L4 larva" maybe; but "L4" alone will not unless a synonym
 
* Rearrangement example: https://wormbase.org/species/all/rearrangement/sDp3#03--10
 
* Molecule example: https://wormbase.org/resources/molecule/WBMol:00003650#03--10
 
* Process examples:
 
** https://wormbase.org/resources/wbprocess/WBbiopr:00000001#09--10
 
** https://wormbase.org/resources/wbprocess/WBbiopr:00000079#09--10
 
* Michael has improved phrase search and combined supplemental documents with main paper documents; should roll out soon
 
  
=== WS276 Citace upload ===
+
=== Alaska software ===
* Hinxton upload Jan 31, 2020
+
* Code developed and maintained by Joseph, but not long term solution
* Citace upload on Tuesday, Jan 28, 2020
+
* Raymond and Eduardo talked about taking it over
 
+
* Why have a web application vs. a command-line application?
=== Author First Pass paper ===
+
** Wanted to make it easy, but also to capture meta data for WB
* AFP resent to Database
+
* Should/will find out from Joseph about how hard it is to maintain the software
* Automated descriptions about to be sent
+
* Maybe it could be taken over by Alliance, as RNA-Seq/Microarray meta data are getting harmonized
* SObA, write for micropub? One micropub on SObA and another on comparative SObA
+
* Expression working group working with Brian Oliver to have GEO take in more structured meta data
 
+
* Array Express tried requiring more structured meta data, but authors stopped submitting
=== Noctua/GO-CAM ===
+
* May be possible to build a form that collects meta data while simultaneously submitting to GEO in parallel
* New version of the Noctua form released next week
 
* Imports from WormBase?
 
** Big push in coming months will be to pull in all manual annotations from WB into Noctua (on track)
 
** Need to work on annotation history on back end
 
** May have face-to-face meeting in Pasadena
 
 
 
=== Variation curation ===
 
* Have a backlog; Paul D is assigned but has been overwhelmed
 
* Have asserted this as a priority
 
* We have the allele-sequence form; where does it go? Hinxton
 
* Need to get allele/variation data in an Alliance-submission friendly form and pull it into the Alliance
 
* Need to integrate curation with the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) pipeline
 
 
 
=== Topic meetings ===
 
* Asia (Taipei) meeting, Paul S going
 
* Aging meeting, Wen could go? (Wen: I can ask if they provide a timeslot for oral presentation.)
 
* TAGC in April, Chris going
 
 
 
 
 
== January 16, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== Variation names ===
 
* Daniela entered a new allele name (tkTi1) in the temporary allele form CGI but it prompted an error: tkTi1 does not match 1 or 2 sets of 1-3 letters and 1-6 digits
.
 
* Daniela asked Juancarlos to modify the temporary variation ID form to allow up to 4 letters instead of 3.
 
* Form here: http://tazendra.caltech.edu/~azurebrd/cgi-bin/forms/generic.cgi?action=TempVariationObo
 
* From the nomenclature guidelines: Newly generated Transposon insertions, especially those located in apparently intergenic regions, may also be given Ti (transposon insertion) names. These consist of the designation identifying the laboratory of origin, the two letters Ti, and a number, all italicized. Example: eTi13 is an insertion of a Mos transposon into an intergenic region on LGIII.
 
* We will wait for Paul D/Tim response and act accordingly
 
* for now the CGI has been changed to allow 4 letters, we will revert if need be
 
 
 
=== Webinars ===
 
* During an AFP call we discussed the possibility to have webinars for authors to guide them through the form.
 
* Is having a webinar series something WB is interested in doing?
 
** we will start with an AFP/micropub webinar and will take it from there based on interest and attendance
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== January 23, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== WS276 Citace upload ===
 
* Next Tuesday, Jan 28 10am Pacific
 
 
 
=== Extracellular/secreted proteins list ===
 
* Peter Roy looking for a list of C. elegans genes whose protein products are secreted
 
* Chris pointed him to BioMart search for SignalP and transmembrane proteins, and to the GO term page for "extracellular region" but Peter doesn't think that's exhaustive enough
 
* Does anyone have any other suggestions or know of an empirical data set?
 
* A survey of putative secreted and transmembrane proteins encoded in the C. elegans genome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22823938
 
* PF00188 Cysteine-rich secretory protein family Pfam
 
** This is a large family of cysteine-rich secretory proteins, antigen 5, and pathogenesis-related 1 proteins (CAP) that are found in a wide range of organisms, including prokaryotes [PMID:12625841]
