=== Expression Pattern ===
+
==April 4th, 2024==
−
* Certain/uncertain qualifiers not annotated before some date
+
* Continued discussion on sustainability
−
* ~3,000 ?Expr_pattern objects without that annotation/tag
+
* CZI, single cell RNAseq for Alliance -> anything happening will be few months down the road
−
* Daniela work on bringing up to date, hopefully won't take long
+
** 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 Clusters to Anatomy & Life Stage annotations ===
+
==March 14, 2024==
−
* Many large scale datasets with tissue-specific expression data
 
−
* Much of what is in SPELL is not annotated to ?Anatomy or ?Life_stage terms
 
−
* A goal: make expression data queryable via ?Anatomy terms/pages
 
−
* Wen will make the model change proposal
 
−
* We may not want to show explicitly in widget
 
−
* There is a need for a condensed display of expression data (per gene)
 
−
* Some datasets, like the EPIC data, explicitly mention each embryonic cell name
 
−
* Need for a condensed ontology browser per gene/anatomy and gene/life stage
 
  
−
=== Proteomic analysis ===
+
=== TAGC debrief ===
−
* Encyclopedia of Proteomic Dynamics, contacted Wen to share data
 
−
* Wen will meet/discuss with group soon to determine what the goals are
 
−
* It isn't clear what format the data has
 
−
* Should include Gary Williams on discussions as he already processes Mass Spectrometry data
 
  
−
=== External Databases ===
+
==February 22, 2024==
−
* To what extent can we take care of the data and display of other lab/publication databases
 
−
* Many authors want to share and make links to their database/website via WormBase
 
−
* What is the best way to handle large scale dataset sharing requests that don't necessarily (for the time being) fit our data model
 
−
* We can take advantage of the "External Links" display on WBPaper pages to link out the the external databases affiliated with the paper, including a link to our FTP site with shared data files, maybe?
 
−
* At least a stop gap measure until we can properly model the data
 
  
−
=== Cis-regulatory site nomenclature? ===
+
===NER with LLMs===
−
* Barbara Meyer's lab published many "rex" (Recruitment Elements on X) sites, numbered sequentially
 
−
* Tim Schedl wondering about others' thoughts/opinions on how to, possibly, standardize the names of cis-regulatory elements
 
−
* Could be like gene names, without dash, e.g. "rex1", "rex2"
 
−
* We may want to try "WBsf-" prefix, on all element names like "WBsf-rex1", although may be only used in-house
 
  
−
=== Phenotypes ===
+
* 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%)
−
* Were there any conclusions about phenotype lookup from the Allele-Phenotype form?
 
−
* Chris spoke with Harald Hutter and others at the meeting about how to improve the lookup for phenotypes
 
−
* Would be good to provide an explicit option to see phenotypes of related (or allele-affiliated) genes, perhaps by shared GO-term annotation
 
−
* Need to think more on how to best compress display of phenotypes on gene pages as well
 
−
* We do already provide links to the Variation and Gene pages (with Phenotypes displayed) in the term information box of the form
 
  
 +
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
  
−
== July 16, 2015 ==
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
  
−
=== Anatomy term page expression ===
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
−
* Raymond and Juancarlos are working on a display of genes that may be exclusively expressed in that anatomy object
 
  
−
=== Construct/Transgene curation ===
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
−
* Karen trying to make the curation of constructs & transgenes easier
 
−
* May consider merging the transgene and construct OA's
 
−
* Possibly add a construct/transgene request functionality in other OA's
 
−
** Would those need multiple input fields?
 
−
** Karen would take care of the details
 
  
−
=== Molecule model ===
 
−
* Exogenous/endogenous tags issue
 
−
* Scraping data from external chemical databases versus adding biologically relevant data from papers
 
−
* We pull data from, e.g. CHEBI, but not all molecules fall under their purview, e.g. proteins
 
  
−
=== Micropublication ===
 
−
* Promotion and outreach
 
−
* Micropublications discoverable in PubMed?
 
−
* Publisher = WormBase? Caltech?
 
−
* Minimal standards for publication?

=== 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
  
−
=== Worm model for autism ===
+
===== Manually validate paper - topic flags without curating =====
−
* Would want to take human variations implicated in autism; look for orthologous genes in C. elegans/nematodes and find/make synonymous mutations
+
*Facet for topic
−
* Prioritize based on worm phenotypes
+
*Facet for manual assertion
−
* Generally applies to human disease variants
+
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***ABC - no data
  
−
=== Database Migration ===
+
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
−
* Thomas Down leaving WormBase in September
+
* Search ABC with paper identifier
−
* Moving ahead with Datomic
+
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
−
* Good starting use-case for Datomic is querying Datomic-version of GeneACE
+
* View all associated data
−
* Need to make sure documentation for migration to Datomic is available and comprehensible
+
* Manually validate flags, if needed
−
* Point-people at each site: Sibyl @ OICR, Juancarlos @ Caltech
 
−
* Now need to work out the mechanics of curating into Datomic
 
  
−
=== WormBase ParaSite ===
+
=== PDF Storage ===
−
* Reciprocal searches (WB <-> PS) are working well
+
* 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?
  
−
=== Microarray datasets & modSeek ===
+
==February 8, 2024==
−
* Some earlier datasets were re-processed (log-transformed, or re-annotated into original replicates instead of averaged results)
+
* TAGC
−
* Need to try out different methods of processing raw-data (WB usually only takes in processed data)
+
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
−
* One pipeline can feed data into SPELL and modSeek
 
−
* It's difficult to establish/determine gold standards for assessing process performance
 
  
−
=== WormBook chapter reviewers ===
+
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
−
* Send reviewer suggestions to Paul ASAP
 
  
−
=== C. elegans proteome in UniProt ===
+
==February 1, 2024==
−
* Not a complete correspondence between WormBase and UniProt
+
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
−
* Cases: UniProt has entry for a protein that differs by one or two amino acids from WormBase
+
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
−
** Made from translations of what cDNAs etc. have been submitted
 
−
** Partial data, e.g. partial cDNAs translated
 
−
* Anything we can do to achieve greater consistency?
 
−
* Protein data sets are important
 
−
* Hinxton can use disrepancies as a flag to check on the gene/protein models
 
−
* Would be good to have more reciprocal linkage between UniProt and WormBase
 
−
* AVR-15, UniProt have two additional entries compared to Wormbase, differing in only 1 or 2 amino acids
 
−
* Should we pick up different entries from UniProt and store/display the data; how to reconcile?
 
−
* Possible use case: enter a UniProt ID into the BLAST/BLAT tool to identify WormBase matches
 
  
−
=== Gene Orienteer Data ===
+
==January 25, 2024==
−
* Sibyl and Xiaodong looking at data and scripts from Gene Orienteer
 
  
−
=== Precanned queries for exclusive expression ===
+
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
−
* Raymond & Juancarlos working on final details
+
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
−
* Intent is to display genes that may be specifically/exclusively expressed in e.g. an anatomy term
 
  
−
=== Embryonic developmental timing ===
+
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
−
* Sulston, Murray timing data sets for wild type embryonic cell division timing
+
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
−
* Mutant data sets are coming in as well
 
  
−
=== Genetic Interaction Ontology (GIO) ===
+
* 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.
−
* Latest version of the GIO complete
 
−
* Juancarlos and Chris built a "genetic interaction calculator" to determine interaction types from quantitative phenotype inequalities
 
−
** http://mangolassi.caltech.edu/~azurebrd/cgi-bin/forms/gi_calculator.cgi
 
−
* Sending out to other MODs, etc.
 
−
* Seems that although there is buy in conceptually, most curators can't afford the time for such detailed curation
 
  
−
=== Phenotype (ontology) display ===
+
* 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.
−
* Problems with display of phenotypes (and other annotations) on WormBase, as pointed out by several people at the IWM
 
−
* Karen would like to start creating allele concise descriptions
 
−
* We need compact, intelligently ordered annotation lists, not just alphabetical lists of ontology annotations
 
−
* It would be good to show ancestors for relatedness and order
 
−
* Chris working on Python script to display all annotations in the context of the entire ontology
 
−
* We will need to see if this approach is feasible/beneficial
 
  
−
=== PATO-style EQ (Entitiy-Quality) phenotype annotations ===
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
−
* It is clear that some phenotype annotations require details, e.g. "drug sensitivity" annotations should have the drug involved
 
−
** This drug/molecule annotation should be present in the details if not directly in the term itself
 
−
* Raises the issue of a number of cases where we need PATO-style EQ annotations, not just explicit phenotype terms for all possible scenarios
 
−
* This would be helpful in annotating embryonic timing and identity phenotype datasets
 
  
 +
=== 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
  
−
== July 30, 2015 ==
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
 +
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
 +
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.
  
−
=== Wen Chen helped Wen Chen ===
+
=== Travel Reimbursements ===
−
* Wen Chen (lab) has list of genes to analyze
+
* Still waiting on October travel reimbursement (Kimberly)
−
* Wen Chen (WB) helped process the list
+
* Still waiting on September and October travel reimbursements (Wen)
−
* Would be good to have a simple CGI to process a list of genes in a variety of ways
 
−
** http://tazendra.caltech.edu/~azurebrd/cgi-bin/forms/fraqmine.cgi
 
−
** For GeneTissueLifeStage and GeneConciseDescription more datatypes easily slotted in if curator makes a file
 
−
* Is this redundant with WormMine?
 
−
** Not for data that doesn't exist (in WormMine) yet; more agile: could be up and running within a matter of days
 
  
−
=== Interconnections between WormBase and FlyBase ===
+
=== UniProt ===
−
* We could create more inter-connectivity between the two databases
+
* Jae found some genes without uniProt IDs, but the genes are there on uniProt but without WBGene IDs.
−
* Sharing concise descriptions of genes
+
* Wen reached to Stavros and Chris to investigate WormBase and AGR angles.
−
* Would be good for FlyBase and WB curators (Xiaodong?) to talk about where the links should exist at each site
+
* Stavros escalates the issue on Hinxton Standup.
 +
* Mark checks Build scripts and WS291 results. After that, he contacted UniProt and he's working with them to figure this out.
  
−
== August 6, 2015 ==
+
==January 18, 2024==
 +
* OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, now fixed on staging
  
−

−
=== WormMart machine ===
+
==January 11, 2024==
−
*Wen wants to use the machine when WormMart retires
+
* Duplicate function in OA was not working when using special characters. Valerio debugged and is now fixed.
−
=== UniProt/wormbase gene class ===
+
** Curators should make sure that, when pasting special characters, the duplicate function works
−
*need to talk to UniProt C.elegans curator
+
* 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
 +
** 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.

−
 
 
−
* Remove all nodes (phenotype terms) that are not directly annotated with or at branching points where two branches of annotations merge (LCA lowest common ancestor, if you will).
 
−
* Scale node size according to annotation count (includes inferred annotations).

  • NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
  • 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)

UniProt

  • Jae found some genes without uniProt IDs, but the genes are there on uniProt but without WBGene IDs.
  • Wen reached to Stavros and Chris to investigate WormBase and AGR angles.
  • Stavros escalates the issue on Hinxton Standup.
  • Mark checks Build scripts and WS291 results. After that, he contacted UniProt and he's working with them to figure this out.

  • OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, now fixed on staging


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?)
  • 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.
