=== Alliance COVID Page ===
* Will resend email requests to authors that haven't already responded
+
* Available on stage
* May also send out for older papers
+
* Textpresso for Coronavirus up for testing
* May work with people to help
 
* Does the old AFP form still work? It should
 
* If someone has a link to the old form, they won't get one for the new form

* Received many submissions recently (>20% response rate)
 
  
=== Ontology Annotator ===
+
=== SimpleMine at Alliance ===
* Need to work on Genotype OA dumper

* Still some confusion about what it is
* Turns out semicolons are problematic (currently in genotypes and transgenes) for object names (ontology fields)
+
* Will try to help clarify on PI meeting on Friday
* Ampersands (&) are also problematic for object names in the OA

=== Use Slack More ===
+
=== Development environment for Alliance work ===
* Slack is a good tool for quick communication among team members; would be good for all curators to join Slack to enable efficient communication
+
* Raymond and Juancarlos have been working on
 +
* Existing hardware is strained; set up virtual machine
 +
* Still some technical issues
  
 +
=== Open Publishing Festival ===
 +
* Later this month
 +
* Micropublications involved
 +
* Organized by the Collaborative Knowledge Foundation
 +
* Will involve publishers of books, journals, etc.
 +
* Will have a MOD-focused event, would be good to have WB curators participate/attend
 +
* Open to all
  
== April 9, 2020 ==
+
=== Genotype class ===
 +
* Ranjana finished populating the Genotype OA with genotypes needed for disease curation
 +
* Will need to keep in mind that we will have a mapping pipeline to determine which genes are involved for a variation
 +
* There could end up being a discrepancy between an original or published name of a genotype and the components that are inferred by WormBase
 +
* Would be good to be clear/transparent about which components were automatically inferred
  
=== Volunteer curators ===
+
=== WS277/278 ===
* Have sent out emails to schedule tutorials
+
* Pipelines are pushed back by about 14 days/2 weeks
* Chris had one tutorial with Michael Davies (Alyson Ashe's lab) yesterday
+
 
* One already scheduled for next Monday with Wilber and Stephanie from Paul's lab
+
 
* Two others already scheduled for next Tuesday with Lina Dahlberg and Colin Dolphin
+
==May 13, 2020==
 +
 
 +
=== SURF students ===
 +
* Welcome Fernando!
 +
* Will work on neuron function with respect to dauer formation
 +
 
 +
=== Progress Report ===
 +
* Review Google Doc from Paul to make sure you're latest updates are there
 +
* Doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f3ettnkvwoKKiaAA4TSrpSQPEF7FmVVn6u2UdflA_So/edit?usp=sharing
  
===TAGC is virtual (4.22-25.2020)===
+
===Genotype class===
FYI in case you missed it
+
*Have 27 genotypes in the genotype OA, dumper and test .ace file ready
*You still have to register (it's free), if you hadn't before
+
*Will test ace file in citace as soon as we get the new models file, can also send to Paul D., in advance to test
https://genetics-gsa.org/tagc-2020/registration/
+
*Disease OA annotations now converted to the newly created genotypes where needed
 +
*Need to work on disease dumper changes next
  
===summer students===
+
=== What genes should be linked to genotypes? ===
* Caltech SURF students (and other summer students worldwide) now are looking for projects
+
* We have a "Gene" tag in the ?Genotype model for capturing relevant genes
* Maybe they could curate for WormBase
+
* What should we consider a "relevant gene"?
* In addition to phenotype, they could curate:
+
* We plan to populate the "Gene" tag with genes identified by the variation-to-gene mapping pipeline
** Allele/lesion sequence curation (using Allele Sequence form); maybe Paul Davis could make a tutorial video?
+
* 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(+)"?
** Anatomy function, looking for novel info; opportunity to program/code
+
* 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
  
=== OA semicolon issue ===
+
=== Volunteer Community Curators ===

* Conceived by Jae, implemented by Sibyl
+
* Introducing a new tool for a graphical summary of queried papers, Please take a look and leave any comments on it. (http://textpressocentral.org:5010/)
* Currently used for interactions data
 
* Could use for other data types like phenotype (e.g. comparing RNAi vs. allele phenotype)
 
* Could also use for Expression data, e.g. comparing results from different methods
 
* Could maybe use for disease data
 
  
=== AFP tutorial ===
+
=== Genes to Physical Map ===
* Daniela, Kimberly, Valerio will run through the AFP form with Nikita from Gupta lab tomorrow
+
* https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1e83jv94-eO_VQ7kKdJ36TgDDb4WRkFhM?usp=sharing
* May record in the future to make a tutorial video
+
To run: Runtime->Run All. Change the list of gene names and run again.
* Daniela may (re-)start curating markers for relevant expression patterns
 
* Wen noticed that many tissue markers are artificial (not necessarily endogenous sequence)
 
=== SURF program ===
 
* Identifying good expression markers? Maybe, but may require more curation experience
 
* Wen looked at expression cluster data; hard to find good, very specific (i.e. neuron) markers
 
* Daniela may (re-)start curating markers for relevant expression patterns
 
* Wen noticed that many tissue markers are artificial (not necessarily endogenous sequence)
