== February 5, 2015 ==
 
 
 
=== Community Annotation ===
 
* Mary Ann discussed with Paul S.
 
* Mary Ann would like to develop a prototype curation form (for variations/molecular lesions) for the international meeting
 
** Test version in 6 weeks?
 
** Juancarlos would need a list of required fields, field types, data connections, etc.
 
** Could take advantage of existing forms
 
* Ranjana and Juancarlos working on the concise description form
 
 
 
=== Changing GAF format ===
 
* What implications does this have for the WormBase Ontology Browser?
 
* What testing of generation of the GAF could be done (and sent to Raymond)?
 
* Kimberly will discuss with Kevin
 
 
 
=== Automated descriptions with updated release schedule ===
 
* WS247 database will not be ready with enough time for Ranjana and James to incorporate into the automated description generation
 
* They can make do with older files
 
 
 
=== Citace upload for WS248 ===
 
* Tuesday March 3rd
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== February 12, 2015 ==
 
 
 
=== Physical Interaction Curation ===
 
* We have begun physical interaction in Interaction OA
 
* We are establishing a pipeline to share all physical and genetic interactions with BioGRID
 
* It would be good to clarify which curators can/will curate physical interactions
 
* Would be good if phenotype curators could curate genetic AND physical interactions in the same paper
 
* Something that John DeModena could do?
 
* Xiaodong capturing protein-DNA interactions
 
* We still need to decide what level of detail we would like to capture
 
* We could try to capture specific protein sequences used in experiments
 
* We don't have individual protein/peptide sequence objects, maybe we want them? IDs for domain instances?
 
* We have an SVM pipeline "geneprodgo"
 
* A lot of GO protein interaction data to extract; might use ?Analysis objects to track attribution of curation
 
 
 
=== BioGRID interaction sharing ===
 
* Provenance and attribution issues
 
* ?Analysis object can be created for BioGRID attribution
 
* WormBase has imported all worm (C. elegans) physical (protein-protein) interactions from BioGRID
 
* Working on importing BioGRID genetic interactions, or at least resolving overlap
 
* WormBase will send physical and genetic interaction data to BioGRID at every upload
 
* Rose et al are considering regulatory interaction data, currently discussing
 
 
 
=== WormBook WormBase Chapter ===
 
* Feb 28 deadline coming up
 
* Can be about 3 pages per chapter
 
* Sections can be written as stand alone and merged as necessary
 
* Putatively 8 - 10 chapters being written
 
 
 
=== User submitted Phenotype (RNAi) data ===
 
* A user recently requested addition of RNAi data for a handful of papers
 
* I (Chris) directed them to our trial [https://docs.google.com/a/wormbase.org/spreadsheets/d/1lLxMZ016g81EpR11eKILm3H17DbcrsUuwq5lqmIIKWk/edit#gid=0 RNAi data submission table]
 
* Would be good to embed community annotation forms into WormBase website so that users could log in and add data without having to re-enter personal information
 
* Can we map user login info to WBPerson ID? Is that already the case? Would be good.
 
 
 
=== Clone Mapper Software ===
 
* We will adopt Clone Mapper for RNAi clone mapping
 
* Chris and Kevin working with Jonathan Ewbank
 
* Important issue remains: what cutoff for the Clone Mapper tool do we choose?
 
* We are working on creating RNAi reagent objects in WormBase to capture targets (and off targets) independently of any RNAi experiments
 
 
 
=== WormBase PI meeting for database migration ===
 
* Next week to discuss current new database considerations
 
* Datomic, MongoDB, etc. front runners
 
 
 
=== Virtual Fly Brain ===
 
* Paul S will talk to group
 
* 8:30am meeting next Monday
 
* Coordination with fly and fish groups
 
* Working out applicable ontologies
 
 
 
 
 
== February 19, 2015 ==
 
 
 
=== Citace Upload ===
 
* 10am March 3rd
 
 
 
=== International Meeting Workshop ===
 
* Raymond will cover WormBase Ontology Browser
 
* Ranjana will cover concise description submission/correction
 
* Paul S. will present at plenary session to make a call for community annotation
 
* Kevin will present Parasite and sequence repositories/submission
 
 
 
=== Int. Mtg. Booth and Posters? ===
 
* Would be good to have a projector at booth like last time; show people how to get data, etc.
 
* Keep the poster for advertisement/outreach and displaying the most current WB poster (Xiaodong's SeqFeat)
 
* Could have prepared presentation/slides displayed on projector at booth by default as a background; change to live demo as needed
 
* Could demonstrate community annotation?
 
* Advertisement & Outreach
 
* Community annotation poster?
 
 
 
=== WS247 WormBase Ontology Browser built ===
 
* Number of genes with Gene Ontology annotations dropped
 
* May be explained by lack of Phenotype-to-GO annotations
 
* Raymond can send numbers to Kimberly
 
 
 
 
 
== February 26, 2015 ==
 
 
 
=== WormBook chapter(s) ===
 
* We'll do a round of reviews and edits on Google Docs
 
* Eventually we'll transition to Word Docs
 
* We can hand in next week sometime
 
* WRT community annotation, we can discuss what we already have
 
 
 
=== 2015 International C. elegans meeting ===
 
* Posters
 
** Could submit abstracts for 1-2 posters
 
** Could project slides/posters projected at Help Desk booth
 
** Self explanatory slides projected?
 
* Workshop
 
** Volunteers:
 
*** Raymond : WOBr
 
*** Mary Ann : Community annotation (for variation)
 
*** Ranjana : Concise descriptions
 
*** Kevin : Parasite, sequence repositories & submission
 
*** Chris : WormMine
 
*** Kimberly : Finding and using GO annotations
 
*** Scott Cain : JBrowse
 
* WormBase staff could have distinctive outfits (shirts or hats)
 
** Paul S could wear it at opening plenary talk
 
* Maybe Kevin Howe could request a booth for ParaSite?
 
 
 
=== Model change errors for WS248 upload ===
 
* Main problem is fixing a model after it has been tagged. We want to avoid having to do this because once a model has been tagged it is employed at different centers, fixing a tagged model would required extra work at all these centers.
 
* Historical_gene tag accidentally removed from ?Construct model
 
* Would be good for all curators to see an explicit diff output to confirm all changes made
 
* Before tagging the models, would be good for Paul Davis to send a formal diff of all changes made to confirm; Paul summarizes the changes in CVS. All curators should look at the CVS summary of changes to make sure only the requested changes had been made.
 
 
 
=== Automated concise descriptions ===
 
* Orthology pipeline needed to be reworked
 
* Find best match by multiple orthology searching methods
 
* 120,000+ total automated descriptions
 
** 5 Caenorhabditis species
 
** Pristionchus pacificus
 
** Brugia malayi
 
** Onchocerca volvulus
 
* One-to-many orthologies start to become unwieldy
 
* Because of upload time crunches, we may want to fall back on older files if necessary
 
 
 
=== Database infrastructure ===
 
* Narrowed down to Datomic and MongoDB
 
* Thomas, Lincoln thought Datomic was better
 
* Datomic *could* possibly be bought out
 
** Could still be changed over; would require work, but would have technology in place, worth it
 
* Will have timestamps
 
* Still planning to have a single all-encompassing database
 
 
 
=== BioGRID data sharing pipeline ===
 
* Juancarlos developed a BioGRID TAB2 dump file from the Interaction OA
 
* Eventually will send all worm genetic and physical interactions to BioGRID
 
* Will omit genetic no_interactions
 
* Will omit interactions with no PubMed ID: reviews or person evidence only
 
* Will omit interactions with uncloned genes (no Entrez ID)
 
* As of Feb 25, 2015, we have ~8220 total novel* genetic interactions to submit to BioGRID (*novel to BioGRID)
 
 
 
=== Species for genes in Postgres ===
 
* We will talk to Michael Paulini about getting species info for genes
 
* Need to get from GeneACE or some place else
 
* Added after meeting - yes, all Species are in Geneace. (Mary Ann)
