Binary vs. Non-binary interaction display
 
*Cytoscape and interaction table are only displaying interactions as binary interactions, regardless of number of interactors
 
*We need to assess how many interactions we have that have more than 2 interactors
 
*Once we have assessed that, we should discuss with web team about how to display these cases
 
 
 
 
 
Curation Statistics
 
*Wen can generate numbers for Citace AND the complete build (rather than Hinxton)?
 
*Will let Hinxton build the queries
 
*End-of-build summary for curators (with more database technical numbers) separate from the Release Notes for public (with more biologically interesting numbers)
 
*Will separate Wiki page into two sections to reflect this
 
*Public info will continue to be displayed in Release Notes
 
*Internal info - where should that be displayed?

+
==April 11th, 2024==
*How do we handle independent, conflicting genome assemblies and gene models?
+
*Caltech WS293 ace files ready for the upload
*Can we collect all gene models, for example, without any bias and display any info we have?
 
*How might we display conflicting models, etc.?
 
*Should we prioritize easier-to-handle, "more important" genomes?
 
*Can we establish automated (minimal manual effort) pipeline to handle these issues?
 
  
 +
==April 4th, 2024==
 +
* Continued discussion on sustainability
 +
* CZI, single cell RNAseq for Alliance -> anything happening will be few months down the road
 +
** Data is still going to SPELL and enrichment analysis
 +
** 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.
 +
* Textpresso: good to have a presentation for other MODs to show Textpresso capabilities? Yes. Maybe during sprint review
 +
* Michael's presentation on LLMs - Named Entity Recognition (NER)
  
Expression graphs
+
==March 14, 2024==
*Wen and Daniela have been generating expression graphs
 
*Yanai probes need to be mapped
 
*Multiple probes mapped to the same gene will be averaged
 
*SPELL construction has changed; all data sets exist as separate flat files
 
  
 +
=== TAGC debrief ===
  
Expression table
+
==February 22, 2024==
*Table of expression data to display all details of an expression pattern object
 
*Place in separate widgets on the gene page
 
*Perhaps, separate large-scale from small-scale studies
 
  
 +
===NER with LLMs===
  
Phenotype Ontology
+
* 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%)
*How stable/complete is the current phenotype ontology?
 
*Good, but we may consider a reconstruction/re-ordering of existing terms
 
*Group phenotypes by e.g. anatomy term, life stage, etc.?
 
*Link anatomy terms, life stages to relevant phenotypes (at .ACE level or website level)
 
*Perhaps use cross-products of various ontologies to get the same effect?
 
*May want to consider using .OWL format as opposed to .OBO
 
*Need a sustainable, long-term approach to maintaining the ontologies
 
*AMIGO 2 only consumes .OWL format, not .OBO
 
*Should we consider switching to Protege, as a local ontology browser/editor (as opposed to OBO-Edit)?
 
  
 +
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
  
LEGO Call
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
*How to use annotation extensions for LEGO model?
 
*Consistent use?
 
  
 +
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
  
Intermine
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
*Target for first release, minimal functionality for sequence-based queries
 
*JD working on importing sequence-based data
 
*How much can we get into Intermine by the first freeze/release (in April)?
 
*How should we prioritize?
 
*Can we build a "worm-version" of FlyMine (existing classes, e.g.)?
 
**Probably not a good approach for first release in April, but maybe useful for long-term
 
*Production server (unstable) vs live/testing server (more stable)
 
*Major testing will start in April
 
  
  
Staging tests
 
*WS236 Staging site now available
 
*Everyone should test rigorously

 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***ABC - no data
  
Dead genes
+
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
*Going to add "Historical_gene" tag to relevant class models (e.g. ?Interaction, ?Expr_pattern, ?Transgene, etc.)
+
* Search ABC with paper identifier
*Will modify OA dumping scripts with Juancarlos to automate recognition of dead genes and replace them (if merged)
+
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
*Dumper will add remark about existence of dead gene in original object
+
* View all associated data
*Will consider adding original gene reference through #Evidence hash under "Published_as" tag, as Other_name (gene synonym), as possibly as a separate free-text tag in the models that captures the verbatim reference to the original gene
+
* Manually validate flags, if needed
*Will not try to re-annotate old objects WRT the gene synonyms/verbatim references, but can consider doing this going forward only
 
  
 +
=== 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?
  
Transgenes
+
==February 8, 2024==
*CGC transgenes have been completed/unified with existing WBTransgene objects
+
* TAGC
*Updating new CGC strains will become a monthly task
+
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  
 +
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
  
GO task
+
==February 1, 2024==
*Can we link two or more genes based on ,e.g., process for enrichment analysis?
+
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
*What should we be getting out of enrichment analyses that we aren't currently?
+
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
*Link all genes as part of "FGF signaling", "DAF-2 signaling", "PAR genes", etc.
 
*Gene sets based on pathway, process, etc.
 
*Intermine should be able to filter by these means (eventually)
 
  
 +
==January 25, 2024==
  
 +
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
 +
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
  
= February 28, 2013 =
+
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
 +
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
  
WS237 Upload
+
* 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.
*Upload happening today
 
*May be some delay due to script issues (being fixed)
 
*Transgene and Life Stage
 
  
 +
* 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.
  
BioCurator meeting coming up
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
*Karen, Kimberly, Michael, and Daniela going
 
*Topics: entity recognition, curation pipelines
 
  
 +
=== 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
  
Kimberly attended NESCENT summit
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
*Meeting: Resource Coordination for NESCENT group, Text mining for annotations
+
