=== TAGC debrief ===
  
=== WormBase curation ===
+
==February 22, 2024==
* Tim Schedl: WB needs to do more curation for phenotype and variation
 
* Doing community curation, but not fast enough
 
* Would like to work on more automation; e.g. having Textpresso return all sentences mentioning an allele in papers that are predicted to have phenotype data
 
  
=== Alaksa ===
+
===NER with LLMs===
* Joesph may be able to meet with Raymond
 
* How can the tool be maintained? If it can't it needs to be pulled
 
  
=== Single cell expression tool ===
+
* 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%)
* Tool is here: http://de.wormcells.com/
 
* What do we need to consider for pulling into WormBase?
 
* Where does the data sit and how does the tool access it? Can we integrate the data more into WormBase (e.g. local curation databases)?
 
** Would want it to be in sync with WormBase releases
 
** May not need to reprocess with every release with current (small-ish) data set
 
* Fully integrated tool versus an embedded tool?
 
  
=== Name service updates ===
+
* Is this similar to the FlyBase system? Recording of presentation  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kZidL7gvBH6SjF4IQujyReVVRf2cOK
* For now we will stick to the CGIs that Juancarlos has built for variations and strains
 
* Juancarlos can discuss with Matt R. and Sibyl the possibility of integrating API requests to the Name service into a CGI form for the OA
 
  
 +
* Textpresso server is kaput. Services need to be transferred onto Alliance servers.
  
== March 12, 2020 ==
+
* There are features on Textpresso, such as link to PDF, that are desirable to curators but should be blocked from public access.
  
=== Cancelled meetings ===
+
* Alliance curation status form development needs use cases. ref https://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/WormBase-Caltech_Weekly_Calls#February_15.2C_2024
* Meetings are being cancelled, including Biocuration 2020. Ranjana will update our Wormbase meeting page with a note to users (done)
 
* We should start doing online advertisement for micropublications with webinars
 
  
=== Storing invalid/avoided WBPersons and email addresses in Postgres ===
 
* Currently Chris has been maintaining ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FHhQk_IZIBLYkOUdVf9Kfh5zx66rkHOEVFQQ6wzT2ks/edit?usp=sharing on Google sheets]) a list of papers, people, and email addresses to omit from future WormBase outreach requests
 
* Valerio would like to add these to Postgres to keep a more central repository of them
 
* Chris would still like to be able to readily update/edit the content of those lists
 
  
* Proposed solutions: Keep the list in a flat file and have a cron job to sync the data to postgres daily or create a simple form to create/modify entries directly in postgres
 
  
=== Updates on Alaska ===
+
==February 15, 2024==
  
Raymond and Eduardo met with Joseph and decided to have the tool running as is for now even though maintaining it can be hard
+
=== Literature Migration to the Alliance ABC ===
The future plan is to move the platform to Google colab to reduce maintainance work.
+
==== Use Cases for Searches and Validation in the ABC (or, what are your common actions in the curation status form)? ====

+
*Facet for topic
*Karen and Daniela need to get tokens
+
*Facet for manual assertion
 +
**professional biocurator assertion
 +
***ABC - no data
  
==Noctua GO-CAM updates==
+
===== View all topic and entity flags for a given paper and validate, if needed =====
*Noctua is a production tool available for annotations right now
+
* Search ABC with paper identifier
*Create as many interconnected models and make available for curators is the ongoing goal
+
* Migrate to Topic and Entity Editor
*Reactome models are in the process of being imported
+
* View all associated data
*Real time validation messages as curation is being done, is being worked on
+
* Manually validate flags, if needed
*Kimberly will send out the details for logging into Noctua and make sure all curators are on the login list
 
  
 +
=== 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?
  
== March 19, 2020 ==
+
==February 8, 2024==
 +
* TAGC
 +
** Prominent announcement on the Alliance home page?
  
=== Citace Upload ===
+
* Fixed login on dockerized system (dev). Can everybody test their forms?
* Tuesday, March 31st
 
  
=== Latest ACEDB ===
+
==February 1, 2024==
* Getting latest ACEDB build from staging FTP (for descriptions, etc.)
+
* Paul will ask Natalia to take care of pending reimbursements
 +
* Dockerized system slow pages (OA and FPKMMine). Will monitor these pages in the future. Will look for timeouts in the nginx logs.
  
=== Storing email addresses/persons to omit from requests ===
+
==January 25, 2024==
* Chris and Juancarlos will work on a form to submit email addresses and WBPerson IDs to Postgres
 
  
=== Mailing lists ===
+
=== Curator Info on Curation Forms ===
* Let Todd know if you want to keep your caltech.edu account on the mailing lists
+
* Saving curator info using cookies in dockerized forms. Can we deploy to prod?
  
 +
=== ACKnowledge Author Request - WBPaper00066091 ===
 +
* I am more than willing to assist; however, the task exceeds the capabilities of the normal flagging process.
  
==March 26th==
+
* 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.
===Community curation===
 
*Do we need to publicize any data form and urge Users to contribute? The AFP and phenotype forms already send targeted e-mail
 
* Paul S. is getting people from the lab to do phenotype curation; Chris G will run a tutorial for interested people
 
* Blog about phenotype form to make people generally aware
 
* Could the phenotype form be adapted for other species? Possibly but depends on:
 
** Whether genotypes could be loaded and recognized
 
  
=== AFP for older papers ===
+
* 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.
* Discussed recently
 
* Many (all?) Old papers have already gone through the old AFP pipeline
 
* Need to check what has already been curated
 
  
=== Omit form ===
+
* Should WormBase decide to use my variant data set, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.
* http://tazendra.caltech.edu/~postgres/cgi-bin/omit_form.cgi
 
* Can view, add, or edit persons, email addresses, and IP addresses to omit from email requests (and IP addresses to block)
 
  
=== Problems accessing Textpresso Central ===
+
=== Update on NN Classification via the Alliance ===
* Ranjana had noticed that the server was acting slow
+
* Use of primary/not primary/not designated flag to filter papers
* Unknown problem; hard to pin down
+
* Secondary filter on papers with at least C. elegans as species
* Definitely a Caltech network system
+
* Finalize sources (i.e. evidence) for entity and topic tags on papers
* Issue for past couple of weeks
+
* Next NN clasification scheduled for ~March
* May be able to ask Caltech IMSS for a diagnostic analysis
+
 
* Bad switch? Maybe; there is an unused switch that could be used to test
+
* We decided to process all papers (even non-elegans species) and have filters on species after processing.
** Maybe should dedicate an ethernet socket to the server(s)
+
* NNC html pages will show NNC values together with species.
* Tazendra seems to have had some trouble recently as well
+
* Show all C. elegans papers first and other species in a separate bin.
* All on subnet 52; Raymond has been monitoring and seems to be working well; could suggest a local (e.g. computer-specific, switch-specific) issue
+
 
 +
=== 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.
 +
