=== Alliance COVID Page ===
 
* Available on stage
 
* Textpresso for Coronavirus up for testing
 
 
 
=== SimpleMine at Alliance ===
 
* Still some confusion about what it is
 
* Will try to help clarify on PI meeting on Friday
 
 
 
=== Development environment for Alliance work ===
 
* 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
 
 
 
=== 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
 
 
 
=== WS277/278 ===
 
* Pipelines are pushed back by about 14 days/2 weeks
 
 
 
 
 
==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
 
 
 
===Genotype class===
 
*Have 27 genotypes in the genotype OA, dumper and test .ace file ready
 
*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
 
*Disease OA annotations now converted to the newly created genotypes where needed
 
*Need to work on disease dumper changes next
 
 
 
=== 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
 
 
 
=== Volunteer Community Curators ===
 
* Have had an additional 13 people volunteer
 
* Single one-on-one tutorial for someone in Hong Kong this past Monday
 
* Chris will hold a tutorial today and tomorrow for everyone else
 
* Have received many new community annotations from volunteers (and authors), validation still pending
 
 
 
=== Open Publishing Festival ===
 
* Ranjana will join as a panelist
 
* Other MOD curators will also join
 
* Festival calendar: https://openpublishingfest.org/calendar.html
 
 
 
=== Move to Chen building ===
 
* Scheduled for late January 2021
 
 
 
=== First completely virtual GO meeting ===
 
* Kimberly: went really well
 
* Only met 4 hours per day, due to time zone differences
 
* Had breakout sessions for focus groups
 
 
 
=== Alliance Literature Acquisition working group ===
 
* Plan to come up with use cases for OntoMate and Textpresso
 
**Ontomate link https://rgd.mcw.edu/QueryBuilder/
 
 
 
* Kimberly plans to draw up most common use cases for Textpresso
 
* Google doc for test cases: https://rgd.mcw.edu/QueryBuilder/getResult/?qFieldConditions%5B0%5D.fieldName=ontology&qFieldConditions%5B0%5D.fieldValue=Coronavirus%20infectious%20disease
 
 
 
 
 
== May 21, 2020 ==
 
 
 
=== Volunteer curators ===
 
* Received surge of annotations earlier this week
 
* All tutorials done for now; all but 3 recorded
 
* Each tutorial is ~1 hour in length
 
  
=== AFP tutorial ===
 
* AFP group working on tutorial/webinar
 
* Had someone on phenotype curation tutorial specifically asking about it (Kimberly responded)
 
  
=== Open Publishing Festival ===

==August 6th, 2020==
* Had micropublication session yesterday, went well

*Experimental conditions in disease annotations: WB has inducers (used to recapitulate the disease condition) and modifiers (a modifier can ameliorate, exacerbate, or have no effect, on the disease condition)

Experimental conditions data flow into Alliance

  • Experimental conditions in disease annotations: WB has inducers (used to recapitulate the disease condition) and modifiers (a modifier can ameliorate, exacerbate, or have no effect, on the disease condition)
  • We use the WB Molecule CV for Inducers and Modifiers in disease annotation
  • Experimental conditions in phenotype annotations: are free text (captured in remarks); will probably need to formalize later on
  • So for data flow into Alliance:
    • In the short term we will load the Molecule CV into the Alliance (Ranjana and Michael P. will work on this)
    • Groups will switch to using common data model that works for all and common ontology/ontologies in the near future.
  • How do we handle genetic sex? Part of condition?
    • Condition has been intended for external/environmental conditions, whereas genetic sex is inherent to the organism of study
    • Expression pattern curation needs genetic sex; needs a model at the Alliance for capturing sex
