*Wen & Adam are working on two widgets:

*About WormBase -> Publications lists all publications by WormBase. There will be two sections. Section 1 lists papers about WormBase overviews. Section 2 lists papers about specific software, data, and ontology.

*About WormBase -> Citing WormBase lists the most current references for WormBase and specific software/data/ontology

== Picture class in geneace ==
 
* Paul D noticed that we dump the Picture class from Geneace. Probably historical. The  Picture class is currently dumped from citace so this seems redundant and also gives the opportunity for data conflict. If no objections I can tell him to retire.

  • We need to know how best to move forward with ?Reference and ?Person evidence in the context of data exchange between WB and the Alliance
  • Does A-team need to connect those WB Persons to be able to populate data in the Alliance curation db ?
    • If so, can it wait until we have proper persons ?
    • If not, when we have persons later will the data be reconnected to Person objects ?
  • Where does data come from, which we call Person_evidence ? Some forms ? Direct emails ? Other sources ?

Subcellular localization field

  • WB has 2 separate free text fields to capture anatomical and subcellular localization statements but obviously the boundaries are fuzzy, see the example below where the statement belongs to both- there are many examples.

“miR-228 is expressed in the germline and preferentially localizes to the nuclear periphery.”

  • Other MODs do not make such distinction.
  • Daniela is asking the group advice to see if there is any objection in merging the 2 fields and slot the paragraph descriptions in the ExpressionExperimentStatement in LinkML.
  • Decision: Keep just one field that will take care of both anatomical expression and subcellular localization
ExpressionExperimentStatement:

    is_a: EntityStatement

    description: >-

      Free-text describing some aspect(s) of a gene's expression, particularly

      nuanced information that is not readily captured in annotations.

      This statement's scope is limited to the associated ExpressionExperiment.
