**?Interaction model "Rearrangement" tag needs an XREF and ?Rearrangement model needs an "Interactor" tag

New Interaction OA
+
==April 18th, 2024==
*Curators should take a look at the new Interaction OA on the sandbox (mangolassi) and notify Juancarlos, Chris, and/or Xiaodong of any problems
+
*NNC pipeline being switched off locally and moving into the Alliance ABC.
*All interactions, including Yeast-Two-Hybrid and Yeast-One-Hybrid experiments, are in the new OA
 
  
 +
==April 11th, 2024==
 +
*Caltech WS293 ace files ready for the upload
  
Paper pipeline for other species
+
==April 4th, 2024==
*Kimberly will update pipeline to include papers from other species
+
* Continued discussion on sustainability
*Papers can go through data tagging pipeline (SVM etc.)
+
* CZI, single cell RNAseq for Alliance -> anything happening will be few months down the road
*Images could be captured from cooperating journals
+
** Data is still going to SPELL and enrichment analysis
*Are PDFs available?
+
** 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.
*~1600 papers for Brugia malayi, for example
+
* Textpresso: good to have a presentation for other MODs to show Textpresso capabilities? Yes. Maybe during sprint review
*Mapping to genomes will be an issue (e.g. RNAi)
+
* Michael's presentation on LLMs - Named Entity Recognition (NER)
*We would want an automated curation mechanism in place for non-core species

===NER with LLMs===
  
Mock Upload
+
* 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%)
*Everything was OK
 
*Wen will leave files in the same directories, so curators will need to overwrite or replace if you want a new file
 
*Ghost objects? Allele-phenotype didn't have correct life stages; fixed
 
  
 +
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
  
Anatomy terms
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
*Juancarlos changed obsolete anatomy terms to red text in the Term Info section of the OA
 
*We will update the anatomy terms somewhat periodically
 
*Some terms get deprecated; if a term gets deleted, a replacement needs to be found
 
*Merges can be dealt with more automatically
 
*Raymond will periodically check for "floating" anatomy terms
 
*Update went smoothly
 
*Not many 'obsolete' terms being used
 
*Many subsumed terms
 
*Paper-anatomy term associations in Citace Minus; Raymond will take care of them
 
*Kimberly uses legacy data for anatomy term associations to papers
 
*Cell/Cell-Group issues
 
  
 +
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
  
Interaction OA
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
*Interaction OA and dumper script essentially finished
 
*Curators should check the OA on the sandbox once more before we make it live
 
*Interaction summary vs. Remark
 
**Interaction summary is for biological info/summary
 
**Remark is more for technical details
 
**We will ask Juancarlos if Remark data from old Interaction objects can be transferred to Interaction_summary field/table
 
*Make Interaction type unique (single ontology field)
 
*Move the "Phenotype" field to the first TAB
 
*Error checks
 
**5 Fatal errors (Interaction does not get dumped) if the following are not satisfied
 
***1) There are at least two interactors
 
***2) There is a reference
 
***3) The Interactor types are compatible
 
***4) There is an Interaction ID
 
***5) There is an Interaction type
 
**1 Non-fatal error (Interaction gets dumped but error is reported in error file on dump)
 
***Interaction type and directionality of interactors
 
*Additional error check for Karen - duplicate interactions on multiple rows
 
*"Check Data" button, what is it doing now? Can it do all the same checks as the dumper?

***4) Linking script runs on XML
 
***5) Quality Control checks on linked XML performed
 
**Mary Ann would rather only get alerts after PDF is available
 
**We can add a note about whether or not the PDF is available to the First Pass list, so Mary Ann can sort on that parameter
 
*The form currently e-mails curators whenever data is changed; do we want updated alerts?

===== 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

WormMart
+
=== PDF Storage ===
*WormMart wasn't accessible from EBI
+
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
*Raymond removed software that affects firewalls; seems to have resolved the issue
+
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
 +
* Is this okay with everyone?

 +
==February 1, 2024==
 +
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
 +
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
  
High School student volunteer

==January 25, 2024==
*Kristy (Yingjie) Ren from Diamond Bar High School
 
*Does she want lab experience only, or would she want to do some WormBase work?
 
*We should ask her
 
*Work study approach? We pay 20%, govt pays 80%; better situation?
 
  
 +
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
 +
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
  
 +
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
 +
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
  
== June 28, 2012 ==
+
* 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.
  
 +
* 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.
  
Kristy Ren (summer high school student)
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
*Will come in tomorrow at 10am
 
*Ranjana, Raymond, Paul, Hillel, and Karen will speak to her
 
*Curation efforts may be better for college students (work study)
 
  
 +
=== 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
  
Itai Yanai paper
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
*Daniela curating expression pattern data
+
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
*Temporal expression patterns across 5 species during development
+
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.
*Microarray data
 
*Itai wants to display his expression images in WormBase
 
*He should provide sequence names instead of gene names
 
*EBI will do mapping to genes
 
*Should original/raw data go into SPELL? Probably
 
*What do we do with images that Itai can submit?
 
*How do we capture/store/process original data, and what do we display/capture in database?
 
*If we get a spreadsheet of the data, place on FTP site
 
*Custom Agilent arrays

=== Travel Reimbursements ===
 +
* Still waiting on October travel reimbursement (Kimberly)
