+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2018|2018 Meetings]]
  
=== BioCurator meeting ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2019|2019 Meetings]]
* Who from WormBase will go?
 
** Raymond (SObA), Chris (Community curation), Mary Ann, Wen would like to go
 
** Daniela maybe for micropublication
 
  
=== International C. elegans Meeting ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2020|2020 Meetings]]
* June 2017
 
* Whether all WB staff go depends on whether we have an all hands meeting before/after
 
* Plenty of things to present; AGR stuff etc.
 
  
=== Citace upload ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2021|2021 Meetings]]
* Prepare files by 10am on Tuesday, Jan 10
 
  
=== LEGO curation ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2022|2022 Meetings]]
* Kimberly working on different C. elegans models
 
* Working on several pathways simultaneously
 
* Should be in production soon (this year), fully evidenced
 
* Full benefit may not be apparent until AGR has LEGO fully integrated
 
* Working out how inferred annotations propagate from Noctua/LEGO model to GAF
 
* MGI creating many LEGO models
 
* How are curators, that went to training, using LEGO?
 
* Curation level view may not be amenable to general biologist/user viewing
 
* What is the best existing pathway display? WikiPathways? Protege?
 
* GO people (Seth, Chris M., Suzi etc.) are working on display, but have limited resources for this
 
* Maybe we could work with WikiPathways team?
 
* Pathway studio at RGD? Manually generated
 
* Should WB have a LEGO call? Yes, probably
 
* Curators may need access to Protein2GO for full curation/inference by sequence similarity
 
* How do we/should we resolve parallel pipelines for curating cellular component data (Go versus Expression pattern)?
 
* How do we accommodate specific versus general processes? E.g. specific versus general cell division
 
* We would like a mechanism for a LEGO curator to pull relevant data from GAF
 
* We would like curators to focus on pathway perspective of curation, where authors can submit experimental details with a potential automated or semi-automated mechanism to bridge the gap
 
  
=== Expression widget ===
+
[[WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls_2023|2023 Meetings]]
* Daniela and Sibyl working on a more compact display of the expression data widget on gene pages
 
* Should we keep subcellular localization in the expression widget? Yes
 
  
=== SObA for Gene Ontology ===
 
* Raymond and Juancarlos working on
 
* First for WormBase, eventually want for AGR
 
* For GO data, will have three different roots (for each branch of GO); One DAG for each
 
* Could have phenotype graphs from particular perspective, e.g. via anatomy, via life stage, via GO, etc.
 
* Would be great to have a comparative view mechanism
 
  
== January 12, 2017 ==
+
==March 14, 2024==
=== Caltech LEGO Call ===
 
*Confirm time: Mondays, 11am PST (2pm EST/7pm GMT)
 
*Start January 23rd
 
*Format?
 
**Start with curation of one paper together?
 
***Possible paper: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27881675  The Intestinal Copper Exporter CUA-1 Is Required for Systemic Copper Homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans.]
 
**Curators then select individual topics?
 
  
=== Switching website to run off Datomic ===
+
=== TAGC debrief ===
* Juancarlos joining biweekly call on Wednesdays with Adam, Matt, and Sibyl
 
* Juancarlos working on Person page widgets currently
 
** Intellectual lineage graph will need to be rewritten in Clojure
 
* Web team is working out the file/directory structure to organize widget generation
 
* Is the Datomic database denormalized? To what extent? No, not really
 
** This affects how we might eventually write into Datomic from our curation database
 
* May be best for Caltech to keep a Postgres curation database in parallel to Datomic (and eventually sync nightly)
 
** This may also be best with AGR as well
 
  
=== Biocuration meeting 2017 ===
+
==February 22, 2024==
* Who's going? Ranjana, Chris, Raymond, Mary Ann, Daniela (if she gets a talk)
 
* Ranjana - automated descriptions
 
* Raymond - SObA graph
 
* Chris - Genetic interactions
 
* Mary Ann - Community curation
 
* Daniela - Micropublications
 
  
=== Community curation presentation on AGR curator call ===
+
===NER with LLMs===
* Chris and Val Wood presented; minutes are here- [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PdmdnTduxidxaljExTbalNA4ReyIRsZZmV6U-5ckXiI/edit AGR minutes]
 
* WB community curation numbers
 
** 321 papers solicited and community curated (Phenotype OA)
 
** 417 papers community curated in total (Phenotype OA)
 
** 313 unique community curators (Phen OA); average 8 annotations per curator
 
** 64 papers solicited and community curated (RNAi OA)
 
** 74 papers community curated in total (RNAi OA)
 
** 61 unique community curators (RNAi OA); average 16 annotations per curator
 
** 3324 annotations total; 2969 valid and confirmed
 
** 2111 solicitations gone out; 16% response rate
 
  
Val presented some information on how complete contributors were:
+
* 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%)
*''1990s were getting 10 annotations/paper, in most recent years are now getting 50 annots/paper (years are publication years)''
 
*''Curation quality - users often omit a data type, but for what they do curate, they are generally very accurate, and often request more specific terms''
 
  
Chris suspects ~20% authors are complete in their phenotype curation of their paper.
+
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
  
=== Pulling WB data into LEGO models ===
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
* Phenotype data requires a mapping step to map alleles and RNAi to genes
+
 
* How might we crowd source or get low cost curators to curate bulk data? Followed by expert curation for LEGO models
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
* May be best for curators to take on specific topics of biology
+
 
 +
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024

* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
 +
 
 +
* 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.
