Genetic Interactions (Interactions Group)
+
==April 4th, 2024==
*Made headway on genetic interactions organization and nomenclature
+
* Continued discussion on sustainability
*We have talked about (previously) separating physical, genetic, predicted, and regulatory interactions into different models
+
* CZI, single cell RNAseq for Alliance -> anything happening will be few months down the road
**This will need more time and work
+
** Data is still going to SPELL and enrichment analysis
*We can immediately add the new genetic interaction type tags to the interaction model
+
** Peter Roy asking about expression profile of a condition and find similar expression profiles (SPELL like analysis) but SPELL cannot currently deal with scRNAseq data. Wen says it is possible (regarding each cell group as an experiment). Can try loading the into SPELL. Doe it improve the function of SPELL? Only 5-10 datasets. These data are a bit different from bulk RNAseq.
*New types include: Enhancement/Suppression, Complex, No Apparent Interaction/Additive, Asynthetic
+
* Textpresso: good to have a presentation for other MODs to show Textpresso capabilities? Yes. Maybe during sprint review
*BioGRID will use their own curation strategy and pipeline, but may eventually incorporate our curation approach

 +
==February 22, 2024==
  
Picture Curation (Daniela)
+
===NER with LLMs===
*Have authorization from ~50% of Elsevier journals
 
*Still need Developmental Biology access (many C. elegans papers)
 
  
 +
* Wrote scripts and configured an LLM for Named Entity Recognition. Trained an LLM on gene names and diseases. Works well so far (F1 ~ 98%, Accuracy ~ 99.9%)
  
Textpresso for Cell Function (Raymond)
+
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
*Have scheme for decent precision (still accumulating numbers)
 
*Recall?
 
*Review papers are, by default, tagged as primary literature and can affect the numbers
 
*Textpresso needs to add a review tagging step (earlier in the pipeline)
 
*Search done with keywords like "mosaic", anatomy terms, site of action, etc.
 
*Many anatomy terms are not very specific (e.g. E, AB, MS, etc.)
 
*Can give Michael new category list criteria for Textpresso (cleaner than current from postgres table pap_primary_data)
 
**Can have inclusion & exclusion criteria
 
  
 +
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
  
User Interface Query Tool (Raymond)
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
  
 +
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
  
Human Disease Curation (Ranjana)
 
*C. elegans as a model for human disease
 
*Textpresso script identifies C. elegans papers with relevance to human disease
 
*Where should this information go? Curation status form?
 
*Right now, everything is simply writing to a text file that Arun has setup
 
*Connect Arun's script to Curation Status form?
 
*OMIM tags
 
*Accession/evidence tags?
 
*Apoptosis working group - identify apoptosis genes in various model organisms
 
  
  
KOG data
+
==February 15, 2024==
*What should we do about it?
 
*EggNOG?
 
*Michael Paulini will change the data model for homology groups
 
*Old data comes from citace; we need to reformat the data if we want to keep
 
*Remove old KOG data entirely and replace with EggNOG data?
 
*Any new data coming from Caltech? No
 
*Transfer data to Hinxton

=== Literature Migration to the Alliance ABC ===
 +
==== Use Cases for Searches and Validation in the ABC (or, what are your common actions in the curation status form)? ====
 +
===== Find papers with a high confidence NN classification for a given topic that have also been flagged positive by an author in a community curation pipeline and that haven’t been curated yet for that topic =====
 +
*Facet for topic
 +
*Facet for automatic assertion
 +
**neural network method
 +
*Facet for confidence level
 +
**High
 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**author assertion
 +
***ACKnowledge method
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***curation tools method - NULL
  
Author Flag (First-Pass) Forms
+
===== Manually validate paper - topic flags without curating =====
*Who is taking care of/in charge of this (curators)?
+
*Facet for topic
*Do curators look at them? Yes
+
*Facet for manual assertion
*Gary prioritizes RNAi papers based on them, Xiaodong uses it, Daniela uses it
+
**professional biocurator assertion
*Should we remove outdated/unused data types?
+
***ABC - no data
*We get the author form results before we have the PDF
 
**Check is in place now so author is not e-mailed until we have the PDF
 
**Have authors send us the flags and the PDF?
 
*Karen will coordinate a clean up process
 
*Group needs to participate in evaluating the automation pipeline
 
  
 +
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
 +
* Search ABC with paper identifier
 +
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
 +
* View all associated data
 +
* Manually validate flags, if needed
  
SVM performance
+
=== PDF Storage ===
*Retraining SVM
+
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
*SVM performs most poorly on Expression Patterns and Gene Regulation
+
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
*RNAi SVM performs best
+
* Is this okay with everyone?
*Subtract papers that are already curated from the paper pool
 
*Let Ruihua know if there are any thoughts as to how to better train the SVM
 
*First-pass forms identify some papers that are missed by SVM (maybe help?)
 
*BioGRID interest? Can we use SVM on abstract only? Mostly use entire paper; could try abstracts
 
**Hard to get access to full text for all papers
 
**Good to encourage all databases/groups to get access to full text
 
**Abstract SVM depends on what is acceptable Recall/Precision values
 
  
 +
==February 8, 2024==
 +
* TAGC
 +
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  
GSA for FlyBase (Karen/Snehal)
+
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
*GSA markup from FlyBase is not as good as it could be
 
*Snehal may focus more on GSA for the time being
 
  
 +
==February 1, 2024==
 +
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements

+
==January 25, 2024==
*Which to choose?
 
  
 +
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
 +
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
  
== June 2, 2011 ==
+
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
 +
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
  
Website (Todd)
+
* The paper conducts an analysis of natural variations within 48 wild isolates. To enhance the reliability of the variant set, I utilized the latest variant calling methods along with a custom filtering approach. The resulting dataset comprises 1,957,683 unique variants identified using Clair3. Additionally, Sniffles2 was used to identify indels of >30 bp, which numbered in the thousands to tens of thousands for most wild isolates. It is worth noting that variants identified with Sniffles2 have less reliable nucleotide positions in the genome.
*Wrapped up support for all classes (display, etc.)
 
*Have one person volunteer to look at potential problems for a particular page?
 
**Send e-mail out to curators, etc.
 
**People volunteer for a page
 
**Reviewers send feedback to Todd/Web Team
 
**Google Document for signing up for looking at pages
 
*Todd
 
**Setting up production environment
 
**Will have dedicated set of servers
 
*Abby
 
**Debugging behavior of web app
 
**Stress testing dynamic loading of content
 
*Once exposed to worm community at International Meeting, can develop focus groups to enhance/improve features
 
  
 +
* I am reaching out to inquire whether WormBase would be interested in incorporating this dataset. An argument in favor is the higher quality of my data. However, I am mindful of the potential substantial effort involved for WormBase, and it is unclear whether this aligns with your priorities.
  
Computer Security breach
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
*Sandbox/Fedora machine hacked
 
*Limited infection/compromised machines
 
*Raymond and Juancarlos working on it
 
*Textpresso-dev affected
 
  
 +
=== Update on NN Classification via the Alliance ===
 +
* Use of primary/not primary/not designated flag to filter papers
 +
* Secondary filter on papers with at least C. elegans as species
 +
* Finalize sources (i.e. evidence) for entity and topic tags on papers
 +
* Next NN clasification scheduled for ~March
  
Virtual Worm Site
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
*Make link on WormBase homepage
+
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
*Announce on homepage
+
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.

* Jae found some genes without uniProt IDs, but the genes are there on uniProt but without WBGene IDs.
*Should be live soon
+
* Wen reached to Stavros and Chris to investigate WormBase and AGR angles.
 +
* Stavros escalates the issue on Hinxton Standup.
 +

 +
==January 18, 2024==
 +
* OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, now fixed on staging
  
New Tazendra Login
 
*New password
 
*Raymond: Assume that once logged into another machine, your keystrokes could be monitored
 
*Don't ssh or scp to another machine (or type any passwords) while logged into a machine other than your own
 
*Limit off-site access?
 
*Setup dedicated machine (with open Port 22) for logging into and then ssh'ing or scp'ing to other machines from
 
*Consider security audit (what machines are operating and which ports are open)
 
*VPN, should always use VPN if accessing machines from a public WiFi spot
 
  
 +
==January 11, 2024==
 +
* Duplicate function in OA was not working when using special characters. Valerio debugged and is now fixed.
 +
** Curators should make sure that, when pasting special characters, the duplicate function works
 +
* OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, Valerio will debug and check what IP address he sees
 +
** If you want to bookmark an OA url for your datatype and user, log on once, and bookmark that page (separately for prod and dev)
 +
* Chris tested on staging and production the phenotype form and the data are still going to tazendra
 +
** Chris will check with Paulo. Once it is resolved we need to take everything that is on tazendra and put it on the cloud with different PGIDs
 +
** Raymond: simply set up forwarding at our end?
 +
* AI working group: Valerio is setting up a new account for open AI -paid membership for ChatGPT4. We can also use Microsoft Edge copilot (temporary?)
 +

* Valerio would like to use an alliancegenome.org email address for the openAI account
 +
* New alliance drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0AFkMHZOEQxolUk9PVA
 +
** note: please move shared files that you own to new Alliance Google Drive.  Here is the link to the information that Chris Mungall sent:  For more instructions see the video and SOP here:https://agr-jira.atlassian.net/browse/SCRUM-925?focusedCommentId=40674
 +
* Alliance logo and 50 word description for TAGC> Wen will talk to the outreach WG
 +
* Name server. Manuel working on this, Daniela and Karen will reach out to him and let him know that down the road micropublication would like to use the name server API to generate IDs in bulk
 +
* Karen asking about some erroneous IDs used in the name server. Stavros says that this is not a big deal because the "reason" is not populating the name server
 +
* It would be good to be able to have a form to capture additional fields for strains and alleles (see meeting minutes August 31st 2023. https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2023#August_31st.2C_2023). This may happen after Manuel is done with the authentication.
 +
* Michael: primary flag with Alliance. Kimberly talked about this with the blue team. They will start bringing that over all papers and fix the remaining 271 items later.

    • Curators should make sure that, when pasting special characters, the duplicate function works
  • OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, Valerio will debug and check what IP address he sees
    • If you want to bookmark an OA url for your datatype and user, log on once, and bookmark that page (separately for prod and dev)
  • Chris tested on staging and production the phenotype form and the data are still going to tazendra
    • Chris will check with Paulo. Once it is resolved we need to take everything that is on tazendra and put it on the cloud with different PGIDs
    • Raymond: simply set up forwarding at our end?
  • AI working group: Valerio is setting up a new account for open AI -paid membership for ChatGPT4. We can also use Microsoft Edge copilot (temporary?)
  • Chris getting ready to deploy a 7.0.0. public release - February 7th. Carol wanted to push out monthly releases. This will include WS291. For subsequent releases the next several releases will be WS 291 until WS292 is available.
  • Valerio would like to use an alliancegenome.org email address for the openAI account
  • New alliance drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0AFkMHZOEQxolUk9PVA
  • Alliance logo and 50 word description for TAGC> Wen will talk to the outreach WG
  • Name server. Manuel working on this, Daniela and Karen will reach out to him and let him know that down the road micropublication would like to use the name server API to generate IDs in bulk
  • Karen asking about some erroneous IDs used in the name server. Stavros says that this is not a big deal because the "reason" is not populating the name server
  • It would be good to be able to have a form to capture additional fields for strains and alleles (see meeting minutes August 31st 2023. https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2023#August_31st.2C_2023). This may happen after Manuel is done with the authentication.
  • Michael: primary flag with Alliance. Kimberly talked about this with the blue team. They will start bringing that over all papers and fix the remaining 271 items later.
