== April 4, 2019 ==
 
 
 
=== Paul's Biocuration Keynote ===
 
* At Biocuration keynote, Paul S. will talk about web forms, including Author First Pass form
 
* Can someone send Paul the latest AFP form location and documentation
 
* Will also discuss the future of micropublications
 
 
 
=== IWM Swag ===
 
* Stickers vs. screen cloths
 
* Daniela had contacted Jessie to make new graphic; she's interested, but do we still need a new graphic?
 
* Plan was to make ~2,000 screen cloths (4x4 inch or 6x6 inch?)
 
** As for design would be nice to have new design
 
** Gary had made cartoon for community curation (proposal might be offensive to some)
 
* Include water bottles for special contributors? In addition to shot glasses?
 
* Turn around time? ~ 1 month; designs done in April; submit request by mid-May at latest
 
* Worm in apple graphic? Dragon worm cartooon? Maybe some variation on it?
 
** We can ask Jessie if she can draw up a couple quick sketch ideas
 
 
 
=== Collaborators tool ===
 
* Juancarlos worked on a tool to extract WBPerson collaborators
 
* WB staff generally had ~100 collaborators, Paul S has 670
 
* Distinguish between collaborators and coauthors? Manual (self reported) vs. automatic associations?
 
* Make modification to ACEDB model?
 
* Maybe 'collaborators' should be restricted to the laboratory level?
 
 
 
 
 
== April 11, 2019 ==
 
 
 
=== Canadian C. elegans meeting ===
 
the "Canadian C. elegans meeting” that will follow the 2019 annual conference of the Canadian Society for Molecular Biosciences. The CSMB conference is held at Université de Montréal on June 2-5, 2019 and will focus on Model systems in cancer research (https://www.fourwav.es/view/1174/info/). The C. elegans conference will be held at the CHUM Research Center in downtown Montréal on Thursday June 6, 2019, and will offer opportunities for both oral and poster presentations. The schedule is not finalized yet but it should start around 8:30am and end around 6pm, followed by an apero in a nearby pub. The costs of registrations will depend on the number of participants but will be between 35 and 50 $ per person (it will cover the costs of lunch, coffee break and logistics).
 
* Karen may be able to go; she will contact Kimberly for any pertinent information
 
 
 
=== Feedback from small RNA meeting April 3-5, 2019 ===
 
* Future meeting invitations and summer workshop?
 
* Dustin Updike - in Maine - interested in running a summer workshop for students
 
** Maybe one or two week-long (5-10 days); unconfirmed
 
** Wen followed up with him: WormBase curator could attend and present on JBrowse, scientific writing, micropublications
 
** Hopefully they can cover travel costs of WB curators
 
** Dustin will get back to us about details as they emerge
 
* Julie Claycomb interested in having WB curator at Toronto's worm meeting
 
 
 
=== New SVM approach ===
 
* Michael will send around paper list with new and old results in the same file
 
* Raymond looked at his data types; at first glance thinks there may be quite a few false positives and false negatives
 
* Can represent new SVM scores as histograms, presumably produce Gaussian curves, can we accept the overlap in distribution tails?
 
* Old thresholds were not necessarily gold standards, probably somewhat arbitrarily chosen initially; we can use the old metrics to roughly choose a new set of corresponding thresholds for the new SVM scores
 
 
 
=== IWM workshop ===
 
* On Saturday of meeting
 
 
 
=== NIH workshop on Trustworthiness ===
 
* Chris attended on Monday and Tuesday
 
* Not quite clear that there is or will be any mandate from funders; just encouragement
 
* FAIR data and TRUST-worthy repositories
 
** FAIR = Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable
 
** TRUST = Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology
 
* Chris will review briefly at next site-wide call
 
* Karen: This is something the data commons really wants
 
** Maybe just need to make sure that the Alliance meets these requirements going forward, not so much for WormBase (?)

=== IWM swag ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_April_2020|April]]
* Stickers, screen cloths?
 
* Jessie's design(s)?
 
* Daniel reaching out to Caltech security who has nice screen cloths
 
* Print list of WormBase tools or user guide on cloth (one side; logo on the other?)?
 
* Will get quote (maybe ≤$1 per cloth?)
 
  
=== Life stage and anatomy ontologies ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_May_2020|May]]
* Each ontology now has an ODK GitHub repository (thanks Nico!):
 
** Anatomy ontology: https://github.com/obophenotype/c-elegans-gross-anatomy-ontology
 
** Life stage ontology: https://github.com/obophenotype/c-elegans-development-ontology
 
* We will perform a round of comparisons between the original OBO files and the ODK-generated OBO files
 
* Will follow up with quality control fixes (e.g. duplicate or missing definitions)
 
  
=== Biocurator meeting ===
 
* EuroPMC - have access to 80-90% full text of open access papers
 
** Would be good for WormBase & Textpresso to work with them
 
* Lots of groups working together on pathways
 
** SwissProt, GO, Reactome
 
* SwissLipids
 
** Metabolomics database pilot
 
** https://www.swisslipids.org/#/
 
* RHEA to replace KEGG (which is well curated but not (no longer) open)
 
** https://www.rhea-db.org/home
 
* Author First Pass poster presented (won 3rd place out of ~200 posters!)
 
** Analogous to FlyBase's 'Fast Track Your Paper' (FTYP)
 
** FTYP does not extract entities
 
** Should evolve into an Alliance pipeline
 
* Data visualization talk (Sean O'Donoghue)
 
** Don't use rainbow heatmaps
 
** Oval representation of time course
 
** Valerio spoke to him; D3 is now a standard library for data visualization
 
  
=== GO CAM ===
+
== June 4, 2020 ==
* Could try to generate automated descriptions using GO CAM models
 
* Group is trying to come up with model naming scheme
 
  
=== Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) ===
+
=== Citace (tentative) upload ===
* GEO data has user submission forms that refer to life stages, anatomy but don't map to WB unique IDs
+
* CIT curators upload to citace on Tuesday, July 7th, 10am Pacific
* Maybe we can ask GEO to update their data submission forms to use standard IDs
+
* Citace upload to Hinxton on Friday, July 10th
* Would help reduce amount of effort required by WB to curate the entries after submission to GEO
 
* GEO forms apply to all species; controlled vocabularies/ontologies could be submitted to GEO for incorporation into their forms
 
  
=== RNA-Seq data processing pipeline (Alaska) ===
+
=== Caltech reopening ===
* Raymond, Juancarlos, David Angeles and Joseph developed automated data processing pipeline
+
* Paul looking to get plan approved
* http://alaska.caltech.edu/
+
* People that want to come to campus need to watch training video
* Maps reads to the genome; will it return FPKM values for each gene?
+
* Masks available in Paul's lab
 +
* Can have maximum of 3 people in WormBase rooms at a time; probably best to only allow one person per WB room
 +
** Could possibly have 2 people in big room (Church 64) as long as they stay at least 10 feet apart
 +
* Need to coordinate, maybe make a Google calendar to do so (also Slack)
 +
* Before and after you go to campus, you need to take your temperature and assess your symptoms (if any) and submit info on form
 +
* Also, need to submit who you were in contact with for contact tracing
 +
* Form is used all week, and hold on to it until asked to be submitted
 +
* If someone goes in to the office, they could print several forms for people to pick up in WB offices
  
 +
=== Nameserver ===
 +
* Nameserver was down
 +
* CIT curators would still like to have a single form to interact with
 +
* Is it possible to create objects at Caltech and let a cronjob assign IDs via the nameserver? May not be a good idea
 +
* Still putting genotype and all info for a strain in the reason/why field in the nameserver
