 +
==March 14, 2024==
  
Rearrangements
+
=== TAGC debrief ===
*Want to change the variation auto-complete file
 
*Dead allele objects
 
*Problem: some Rearrangment objects are considered alleles/variations, others are dead or are not considered alleles
 
*How do we define/distinguish between Rearrangements/Deficiencies and Alleles?
 
*All are variations
 
*Do we make alleles and rearrangements mutually exclusive?
 
*Since all are variations, we handle each generically as a WBVar### object
 
*The distinction would just need to be made at the point of object creation
 
  
 +
==February 22, 2024==
  
Anatomy Ontology
+
===NER with LLMs===
*Obsolete terms dumped from the Anatomy Ontology
 
*Will flag obsolete terms or try to remove from dump
 
  
 +
* 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%)
  
 +
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
  
== July 28, 2011 ==
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
  
 +
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
  
Condition Form
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
*No one is using
 
*Juancarlos will remove
 
  
  
Concise Description OA
 
*Almost done
 
*Can this be of use for other nematode (other species) groups?
 
*Those studying other nematode are collecting functionally relevant information for genes
 
  
 +
==February 15, 2024==
  
Life Stage tags
+
=== Literature Migration to the Alliance ABC ===
*Do we need a species tag for Life Stages?
+
==== Use Cases for Searches and Validation in the ABC (or, what are your common actions in the curation status form)? ====
*How closely do different nematode species have similar or the same life stages (and stage names)?
+
===== 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 =====
*Example, Infective Juveniles (IJs) (analogous to dauer?)
+
*Facet for topic
*Example, are all "L1"s the same across species?
+
*Facet for automatic assertion
*Let's leave out the species tag for now
+
**neural network method
 +
*Facet for confidence level
 +
**High
 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**author assertion
 +
***ACKnowledge method
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***curation tools method - NULL
  
 +
===== Manually validate paper - topic flags without curating =====
 +
*Facet for topic
 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***ABC - no data
  
Tracking Gene Name Changes
+
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
*Juancarlos fixed script for tracking and updating gene names in the OA
+
* Search ABC with paper identifier
*Names will still not be updated (in the OA) until the new release, so there will be a lag
+
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
*Solution for now is to look up WBGeneID in WormBase and query the OA using that
+
* View all associated data
*(This came up because the official name of a gene changed and the OA hadn't caught up yet)
+
* Manually validate flags, if needed
  
 +
=== PDF Storage ===
 +
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
 +
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
 +
* Is this okay with everyone?
  
Concise Description records with no genes?
+
==February 8, 2024==
*Some invalid genes disappeared from the name server all together, but should have stayed in tagged as "obsolete"
+
* TAGC
 +
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  
 +
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
  
Author First Pass forms for transgene
+
==February 1, 2024==
*Overexpression phenotype
+
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
*Transgene phenotype
+
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
  
 +
==January 25, 2024==
  
Streamlining Molecule curation
+
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
*Karen gave Michael a list of molecules to run through Textpresso
+
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
*Can save sentences related to molecules
 
  
 +
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
 +
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
  
GSA
+
* 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.
*FlyBase linking moving forward
 
*GO-term linking
 
**3 Papers have come through pipeline
 
**Curators will discuss once gone through
 
  
 +
* 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.
  
Outline for NAR paper in the works
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
  
 +
=== 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
  
WormBase paper for "Worm" journal
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
*"Fun" paper
+
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
*Discuss who we are and what is being done
+
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.
  
 +
=== Travel Reimbursements ===
 +
* Still waiting on October travel reimbursement (Kimberly)
 +
* Still waiting on September and October travel reimbursements (Wen)
  
Worm Breeder's Gazette
+
=== UniProt ===
*WormBase can use Worm Breeder's Gazette as a forum for discussion
+
* Jae found some genes without uniProt IDs, but the genes are there on uniProt but without WBGene IDs.
*We should have a presence for every Gazette
+
* Wen reached to Stavros and Chris to investigate WormBase and AGR angles.
*Replacement for the news letter?
+
* Stavros escalates the issue on Hinxton Standup.
*SPELL related article? Virtual Worm?

 +
** 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.
