Title: WormBase 2019 - Data, Tools and Community Curation
+
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
This workshop will be an interactive session with users in order to discuss the types of data in WormBase and how to query them using specific tools. We will discuss recent changes to WormBase community annotation forms and how to use them to contribute data to WormBase.  We will also present updates to ParaSite, a portal for parasitic worm genomic data, and guide participants on how to find data across model organisms at the Alliance of Genome Research.
 
  
Format: 90 minutes: 1 section of 40 minutes, followed by a second section of 20 mins and a third section which will be a 30 minute open discussion/Q&A session.  Talks in each section will also be tailored to allow time for questions from the audience.
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
  
Section 1: Introduction to the WormBase gene page and tools such as SimpleMine, Tools for RNA seq data and enrichment analysis, gene-related data using WormBase Ontology Browser and Annotation Visualization tools.
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
  
Section 2: WormBase Parasite database, Model Organism data at the Alliance of Genome Research and Community Curation forms
 
  
Section 3: Open forum for discussion and Q&A.

* Information poor genes can take advantage of information across MODs/species
+
===== 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 =====
* Need more robust QC pipeline; can work on for WormBase, and later apply to Alliance once worked out
+
*Facet for topic
* Working on expression statements for Alliance genes
+
*Facet for automatic assertion
* Considering rearrangement of description so disease features more prominently
+
**neural network method
 +
*Facet for confidence level
 +
**High
 +
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**author assertion
 +
***ACKnowledge method
 +

=== Disease curation ===
+
===== Manually validate paper - topic flags without curating =====
* Disease model curation progressing; Lots of discussions about data standards and entities in Alliance Disease Working Group
+
*Facet for topic
* Considering SVM for disease; current paper flagging pipeline is rather broad
+
*Facet for manual assertion
*200+ papers as positive training set available
+
**professional biocurator assertion
* Results section are not being extracted in latest Textpresso (paper sectioning in general not happening)
+
***ABC - no data
  
=== Noctua / GO-CAM ===
+
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
* Making progress on best practices
+
* Search ABC with paper identifier
* Can use Noctua to generate GO annotations
+
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
* Starting to incorporate proteins
+
* View all associated data
* Working with an ever changing Noctua platform; bugs emerge as it is developed; may benefit from frozen release of the software
+
* Manually validate flags, if needed
* Next month or two, will import entire set of C. elegans GO annotations into Noctua
 
** Many decisions to make: how to model?
 
** Each gene will become a single Noctua model; not linked to each other initially
 
** Working on batch updates/uploads to Noctua
 
  
=== Expression cluster curation ===
+
=== PDF Storage ===
* Wen working on 40 paper backlog; hoping to finish by WS271
+
* At the Alliance PDFs will be stored in Amazon s3
* Wen wants to work on RNA-Seq tools next
+
* We are not planning to formally store back-up copies elsewhere
** FPKM tools
+
* Is this okay with everyone?
** Filtering by datasets
 
** Would like tools ready before International C. elegans Meeting (June 2019)
 
  
=== Neural function curation ===
+
==February 8, 2024==
* Raymond: want to use design pattern strategy to curate
+
* TAGC
 +
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  
=== WOBr ===
+
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
* Now incororating non-IEA disease annotations into WOBr
 
* Using disease-association file
 
  
=== Phenotype curation ===
+
==February 1, 2024==
* Will run a new round of phenotype requests on ~3,000 papers in next few weeks (last one ran in October)
+
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
* Processing community curation submissions
+
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
* Will recurate some community curation papers to check:
 
** 1. completeness of community curation
 
** 2. the time-savings of the phenotype form pipeline
 
* Have made recent improvements to phenotype request emails, allowing authors more feedback options which are now being readily used
 
* Working with new phenotype ontology GitHub repository
 
** OBO Foundry now pointing phenotype ontology at the GitHub repository (both OBO and OWL files)
 
** Need to update the citace upload procedure to generate phenotype .ACE file; currently the script is still running on the old OBO Tazendra location; need to update to work off new OBO file at GitHub
 
  
=== Metabolomics ===
+
==January 25, 2024==
* Karen working with Michael Witting to pull in metabolomics data
 
* Integrating information about endogenous concentrations of metabolites
 
  
=== Automated descriptions React tool ===
+
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
* Juancarlos developed tool to request versions of the automated descriptions
+
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
* Will update pipeline to pull data from Alliance; currently coming from Tazendra
 
* Tracking how the descriptions are changing, by data module for example
 
* React tool currently on mangolassi but will move to Alliance at a location of Olin's choosing (AWS resource)
 
  
=== Transgenes in the Alliance ===
+
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
* Are transgenes being discussed at the Alliance?
+
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
* Yes, the phenotype and disease working group has been discussing
+
 
* Hasn't come up in recent weeks, but was discussed at face-to-face meeting
+
* 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.
* One significant issue is that WormBase uniquely has extra-chromosomal arrays, whereas other MODS (always?) have integrated transgenes and consider them types of alleles
+
 
* Chris will give Karen a heads up next time the issue is intended to be discussed within the Alliance
+
* 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.
 +
 
 +
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
 +
 
 +
=== 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
 +
 
 +
* 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.
 +
 
 +
=== 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.
