==May 23rd, 2024==
 +
*Publication bias workshop NINDS
 +
** Registered report -> the protocol is sent before publication
 +
** How many negative curated data? Do we want to pull this out?
 +
** Two billion dollars worth of research not published each year
 +

 +
==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)
  
== November 5, 2015 ==
+
==March 14, 2024==
  
=== IEA GO Annotations informating descriptions for non-elegans ===
+
=== TAGC debrief ===
* Some non-elegans genes have confident-sounding descriptions, about localization for example; likely not manual
 
* Will make sure automated descriptions handle IEA's appropriately
 
  
=== Wen using Textpresso machine to build SPELL ===
+
==February 22, 2024==
* Athena was taking 48 hours to build SPELL (4GB max memory allotted)
 
* Textpresso machine took 24 hours (8GB memory allotted)
 
* Maybe we can use Textpresso machine for future builds
 
* SPELL java program running on Athena (alloted 4GB out of 6GB)
 
* Can monitor Athena memory usage; check for any memory leaks
 
  
=== Community Curation Tracker CGI ===
+
===NER with LLMs===
* Purpose: To automate many steps of the e-mailing process to authors requesting community curation and to track those papers for which we've sent e-mails
 
* There is a "Ready" form and a "Tracker" form; "Ready" for generating list of papers to e-mail about, "Tracker" to track the status of papers that have already been e-mailed about
 
* Wiki documentation at: http://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/Contacting_the_Community#Community_Contact_.26_Curation_Tracker_CGI
 
* Sandbox CGI located at: http://mangolassi.caltech.edu/~postgres/cgi-bin/community_curation_tracker.cgi
 
* EMAIL FUNCTIONALITY IS LIVE: please note!
 
* Allele-phentoype("New mutant" datatype) CGI is live on Tazendra
 
* Concise description version will be cloned from the New Mutant CGI and modified as needed
 
  
=== SObA Graphs for phenotype ===
+
* 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%)
* Juancarlos will transfer code tomorrow, if there are no change requests before then
 
* Existing feature requests will be added to future releases of SObA
 
  
=== Micropublications ===
+
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
* Daniela spoke with Daniel about having web pages in WormBook style to house micropublications
 
  
=== Status of WormBase User Survey? ===
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
* Paul sent around paper this morning: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v527/n7576_supp/full/527S16a.html
 
* What aspects of databases really get used by users?
 
* How can we be more efficient with existing curation pipelines?
 
* Question of the month on WormBase?
 
* We could get user feedback when visiting labs
 
  
=== Sending author updates ===
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
* Would be nice to have a mechanism to update authors on what has been curated for their paper
 
* Could give paper data summaries as well as recent updates to curation for a paper
 
  
=== Objectifying/Itemizing annotations from Postgres ===
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
* What if we objectified itemized Postgres entries for easier display of all annotations per paper, for example?
 
* May require addition of a text field tag to the ?Paper class, for example, that would capture each annotation item for a paper
 
* This would be ''in lieu'' of actually objectifying all annotations

+
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
* Ranjana will work with Juancarlos
+
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
 +
* Is this okay with everyone?

* Does PomBase track their community curation?
 
  
=== HT115 vs HT115(DE3) E.coli strains ===
+
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
* Redundant, should probably merge HT115 into HT115(DE3), as the RNAi-host E.coli strain
+
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
  
=== Visualization plans ===
+
* 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.
* Karen e-mailed around older proposal for work with Santiago Lombeyda
 
* Original project was to upgrade visualization of pathways and virtual worm in WB page
 
  
 +
* 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.
  
== November 19, 2015 ==
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
  
=== Community curation ===
+
=== Update on NN Classification via the Alliance ===
* Community e-mailing for allele-phenotype: 315 e-mails sent, 49 papers curated, 260 community annotations in the Phenotype OA
+
* Use of primary/not primary/not designated flag to filter papers
* Chris gave Paul list of all sy* alleles and phenotypes
+
* Secondary filter on papers with at least C. elegans as species
* Paul going through table to add phenotypes not already in WB
+
* Finalize sources (i.e. evidence) for entity and topic tags on papers
* Paul using Textpresso and an allele-phenotype worksheet
+
* Next NN clasification scheduled for ~March
* Do we want to create more elaborate forms or parallel forms? Probably parallel forms (in future)
 
* How can we assess completeness of curation? Very difficult to automate, currently
 
** Check figures and tables
 
** Ask authors about completeness
 
* Publication templates/worksheets? Streamline data submission concurrent with publication
 
* Can discuss at SAB in Feb
 
* We can send PI's/authors lists of alleles and what phenotypes WB has
 
  
=== Working with NCBI ===
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
* Interested in Textpresso text-mining and SVM categorizing
+
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
* How might we work with NCBI & PubMed Central to curate? They are willing to run SVM on PMC corpus
+
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.
  
=== Minimum information requirements ===
+
=== Travel Reimbursements ===
* RNAi MI seemed bulky and not complete
+
* Still waiting on October travel reimbursement (Kimberly)
* Asks authors for genes targeted, not dsRNA sequence
+
* Still waiting on September and October travel reimbursements (Wen)
* We could write up a paragraph outlining the complaints about the proposed RNAi MI
 
* Maybe micropublish the paragraph
 
  
=== Micropublications ===
+
=== UniProt ===
* Should go into PubMed Central
+
* 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.
  
=== Allele descriptions ===
+
==January 18, 2024==
* Karen wants to adapt Ranjana and James' automated gene descriptions for alleles
+
* OA showing different names highlighted when logging in the OA, now fixed on staging
* Start working on in January
 
  
=== SObA ===
 
* Juancarlos making progress on integrating into the WB site
 
* There are difficulties getting SObA into it's own widget on the gene page
 
** Conflicts with other settings (esp. with Cytoscape) on same page, e.g. Interactions widget (w/Cytoscape viewer)
