== May 1, 2014 ==
 
 
 
=== Progress report ===
 
* Curation status freezes have been collected (daily?)
 
* These can be used for report
 
* Review grant proposal: milestones, quarterly updates, etc.
 
 
 
=== LEGO - Paul Thomas' visit ===
 
* We want to work on/think about importing WB GO annotations into LEGO format
 
* Is .OWL format the final destination of LEGO data for us? Yes, probably
 
* Will we be able to automate the process and eventually port to WikiPathways or other pathway visualizer?
 
* Extended evidence codes? For capturing methods?
 
* We need some trial LEGO curation to start working out the process
 
* There is a communal desire to achieve a common format for pathways, whether it be SBML, SBGN, LEGO, etc. or some hybrid
 
* We would like to play around with how to import/interpret/export .OWL files for our data
 
 
 
=== Pathway curation ===
 
* Topic curation: a single (or pair of) curator(s) focusing on pulling together and drawing a pathway for a topic
 
* Labs adopting a pathway? Outreach, community annotation
 
* Reaching out to experts to confirm or proof read our pathways
 
 
 
=== WormBase Ontology Browser (WOBr) ===
 
* http://juancarlos.wormbase.org/tools/ontology_browser
 
* Getting closer to completion
 
* Working out how to handle different relationships, e.g. "part_of", "has_part"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== May 8, 2014 ==
 
 
 
=== BioTapestry ===
 
* We may be able to use BioTapestry (from Davidson group) to visualize gene regulatory interactions
 
* Xiaodong testing out
 
 
 
=== Li et al 2004 Interactome ===
 
* Mostly sorted out now
 
* Missing gene references have been filled in
 
* "Noncore" interactions will be omitted from website
 
* Almost perfect correspondence between the published dataset and WB dataset
 
 
 
=== WOBr ===
 
* Still making progress
 
* Incorporating life stage and disease annotations
 
* There appeared to be missing gene-phenotype annotations; Raymond contacted Kevin Howe
 
* Raymond will try to work on from Taiwan
 
 
 
=== Models ===
 
* Paul Davis deposited the most recent models revision (1.404) in the models CVS repository
 
* Curators should test their model changes
 
* ?Variation and ?Construct models still need work; data needs to be conformed to fit new models
 
* Questionable whether all the changes for ?Construct and ?Variation models and data can be made by the next upload (May 27th)
 
* ?Expr_pattern model being modified soon to accommodate annotation of specific conditions; working to be compatible with LEGO
 
 
 
=== Curation Progress Report ===
 
* Each curator can use the Curation Status Form to generate numbers for their datatype(s)
 
* Wen can install relevant versions of ACEDB (WS238 - WS243?) to pull annotation numbers
 
 
 
 
 
== May 15, 2014 ==
 
 
 
=== Progress Report ===
 
* Paul will send around format during or after the call
 
* Whole contribution from Caltech (bio-curation) should be about a page
 
* A few sentences on each curation topic
 
* Some mention of models, WOBr, topic curation
 
* Next Thursday (May 22nd) local deadline (official deadline June 1)
 
* WS238 - WS243, March 2013 (beginning curation) to March 2014 (end of curation) 12 months/1 year
 
* Curation Status Form has stats from Aug 1 2013, we can look at numbers from Aug 1 2013 to May 1 2014, 9 months, can be extrapolated to a year
 
 
 
=== BioTapestry ===
 
* Xiaodong sent around some sample gene regulatory network diagrams based on WB data
 
* How do we want to use this?
 
* To what extent do we need time and place (spatio-temporal) information for a transcriptional regulation to use BioTapestry?
 
* Can we generate spatial-agnostic/temporal-agnostic diagrams?
 
* Xiaodong will look into curation numbers for annotations that include spatial info, temporal info, or both
 
 
 
=== GO Meeting at Caltech ===
 
* Need to reserve a room for next Tuesday/Wednesday, 10-15 people, all day (if possible)
 
* Tech-oriented discussions of LEGO, GO, Textpresso
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== May 22, 2014 ==
 
 
 
=== Agenda ===
 
* Orion/LEGO/Textpresso meeting
 
* Progress Report
 
 
 
=== GO/LEGO ===
 
* GO curation will eventually morph into LEGO curation
 
* Can we incoporate other WormBase data into LEGO? Hopefully, we'll have to see
 
* Would be good to have OA (e.g. Interaction OA) feed directly into LEGO/Orion/Noctua
 
* We are building pathways with various tools; long term curation goal not clear yet
 
* How could we represent other data in LEGO? Phenotype annotations? Expression patterns? Genetic interactions?
 
* Connecting tools like PAINT, OA, Textpresso, etc. to LEGO
 
* LEGO team worked with Juancarlos to get some LEGO tools/infrastucture (Noctua, Barista, Amigo) running at Caltech
 
* Mechanisms to seed LEGO diagrams is a priority
 
* LEGO team working with Michael to interface with Capella (Textpresso tool)
 
 
 
=== Progress Report ===
 
* Curators should send their blurbs to Chris (in any format)
 
* Chris will send plain text to Paul S.
 
 
 
=== Monarch Initiative ===
 
* http://monarchinitiative.org/
 
* Human diseases connected to phenotypes via genetic variants in various model organisms
 
 
 
=== Athena is crashing ===
 
* Wen having trouble with Athena; difficult to reboot
 
* Data is backed up; Wen and Raymond will work on replacing Athena
 
 
 
=== WS244 Upload ===
 
* Citace upload to Wen by Tuesday morning
 
 
 
=== BioGrid data ===
 
* Still waiting on curator timestamps and a dump of partially curated papers from BioGrid
 
* Will still need to compare genetic interaction datasets
 
* For large scale genetic interaction datasets in both databases, we will favor the WB version, import others (best mapping of terms possible)
 
 
 
=== 2004 Vidal Interactome Yeast-Two Hybrid Data ===
 
* Chris has nearly finished sorting out official interactions from those removed
 
* Once done, we can import from later interactome datasets
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== May 29, 2014 ==
 
 
 
=== Agenda ===
 
* Progress Report
 
* SAB
 
* Citace upload
 
 
 
=== LEGO ===
 
* LEGO connected to OA/Postgres -- Oh, is _that_ what we're talking about ?  I thought it was about writing an interface that looked like the OA that worked on their data, not on postgres at all -- J
 
** Can we link curation in the OA to LEGO model?
 
** Still needs to be worked out
 
 
 
=== Progress report ===
 
* Paul putting together report
 
* We need to discuss priorities
 
 
 
=== Citace upload ===
 
* Wen received new phenotypes file
 
* Upload to Hinxton will proceed as usual tomorrow
 
* Wen will send around a new upload summary today
 
 
 
=== Cis-regulation interactions visualization ===
 
* Now that we have broken out cis-regulation events into binary interactions, we can tell Abby to display in Cytoscape on the website
 
* We will use Cytoscape now, maybe consider BioTapestry later
 
 
 
=== Scientific Advisory Board meeting ===
 
* Hinxton, UK, October 5-7, 2014
 
* Need to consider what types of numbers and coverage we want to cover
 
* e.g. Exppression patterns are caught up, behind on concise descriptions but we have a plan...
 
* We would like to acquire better coverage of allele-phenotype/RNAi-phenotype annotations
 
* Percent coverage, change in coverage percentage (are we keeping up? are we caught up?)
 
* LEGO curation approach: WB data modeling to capture LEGO type curation
 
* Biological Topics, WikiPathways, Reactome
 
* WormBase Ontology Browser
 
* Proportion of papers covered, # objects curated
 
* Text mining support to fill in missing information
 
 
 
=== (Semi-) Automated Concise Descriptions ===
 
* Primarily for genes with very little existing information (e.g. no papers)
 
* Proposed tool could pull up basic info on gene: orthology, expression clusters, RNAseq data
 
* Expression cluster info could provide info under what conditions a gene is up- or down-regulated
 
* Is degree of confidence a concern? Are there confidence weights that we should apply? Thresholds for making some statements?
 
 
 
=== WormBase Ontology Browser (WOBr) ===
 
* Currently we are still trying to adapt AMIGO 2 to WormBase data
 
* Amigo is Gene Ontology centric; to what extent does it work for us?
 
* How do we best merge Amigo GitHub code with WormBase code for further WB-specific development?
 
* Expandable trees (that we are using) only work for transitive relationships; anatomy ontology has other relationship types
 
* GO team does want Amigo to apply to other ontologies; how can we best coordinate with Amigo development?
 
* Interface with a GO-annotation verifier?
 
**AmiGO verification manager
 
**http://amigo2.berkeleybop.org/cgi-bin/amigo2/matrix
 
**https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pombase/wiki/MatrixProject
 
**http://build.berkeleybop.org/job/check-shared-annotations/lastBuild/console
 
 
 
=== CHEBI update ===
 
* Karen sent 280 molecules to CHEBI that we have curated with but don't yet have a CHEBI ID
 
* Updating can happen weekly
