[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_April_2020|April]]
* Confirmed for December 2020 or February 2021
 
  
=== Alaska software ===
 
* Code developed and maintained by Joseph, but not long term solution
 
* Raymond and Eduardo talked about taking it over
 
* Why have a web application vs. a command-line application?
 
** Wanted to make it easy, but also to capture meta data for WB
 
* Should/will find out from Joseph about how hard it is to maintain the software
 
* Maybe it could be taken over by Alliance, as RNA-Seq/Microarray meta data are getting harmonized
 
* 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
 
* May be possible to build a form that collects meta data while simultaneously submitting to GEO in parallel

=== What genes should be linked to genotypes? ===
 +
* We have a "Gene" tag in the ?Genotype model for capturing relevant genes
 +
* What should we consider a "relevant gene"?
 +
* We plan to populate the "Gene" tag with genes identified by the variation-to-gene mapping pipeline
 +
* For transgenes, what genes should be extracted as "relevant"? Genes whose promoters are cloned? Genes that are expressed? Genes whose 3'UTR's are cloned? Wild type rescue genes used as a marker/selection tool, e.g. "unc-119(+)"?
 +
* For rearrangements, consider relevant any genes "inside" the rearrangement?
 +
* For now, we will omit any genes from transgenes or rearrangements from being dumped into the "Gene" tag
 +
* In the future, we may want to consider genes that have been specifically annotated as having some functional consequence and informs that the gene is of functional relevance to the genotype
