== November 5, 2015 ==
 
  
=== IEA GO Annotations informating descriptions for non-elegans ===
+
== December 3, 2015 ==
* Some non-elegans genes have confident-sounding descriptions, about localization for example; likely not manual
 
* Will make sure automated descriptions handle IEA's appropriately
 
  
=== Wen using Textpresso machine to build SPELL ===
+
=== Topic 1 ===
* Athena was taking 48 hours to build SPELL (4GB max memory allotted)
 
* Textpresso machine took 24 hours (8GB memory allotted)
 
* Maybe we can use Textpresso machine for future builds
 
* SPELL java program running on Athena (alloted 4GB out of 6GB)
 
* Can monitor Athena memory usage; check for any memory leaks
 
 
 
=== Community Curation Tracker CGI ===
 
* Purpose: To automate many steps of the e-mailing process to authors requesting community curation and to track those papers for which we've sent e-mails
 
* There is a "Ready" form and a "Tracker" form; "Ready" for generating list of papers to e-mail about, "Tracker" to track the status of papers that have already been e-mailed about
 
* Wiki documentation at: http://wiki.wormbase.org/index.php/Contacting_the_Community#Community_Contact_.26_Curation_Tracker_CGI
 
* Sandbox CGI located at: http://mangolassi.caltech.edu/~postgres/cgi-bin/community_curation_tracker.cgi
 
* EMAIL FUNCTIONALITY IS LIVE: please note!
 
* Allele-phentoype("New mutant" datatype) CGI is live on Tazendra
 
* Concise description version will be cloned from the New Mutant CGI and modified as needed
 
 
 
=== SObA Graphs for phenotype ===
 
* Juancarlos will transfer code tomorrow, if there are no change requests before then
 
* Existing feature requests will be added to future releases of SObA
 
 
 
=== Micropublications ===
 
* Daniela spoke with Daniel about having web pages in WormBook style to house micropublications
 
 
 
=== Status of WormBase User Survey? ===
 
* Paul sent around paper this morning: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v527/n7576_supp/full/527S16a.html
 
* What aspects of databases really get used by users?
 
* How can we be more efficient with existing curation pipelines?
 
* Question of the month on WormBase?
 
* We could get user feedback when visiting labs
 
 
 
=== Sending author updates ===
 
* Would be nice to have a mechanism to update authors on what has been curated for their paper
 
* Could give paper data summaries as well as recent updates to curation for a paper
 
 
 
=== Objectifying/Itemizing annotations from Postgres ===
 
* What if we objectified itemized Postgres entries for easier display of all annotations per paper, for example?
 
* May require addition of a text field tag to the ?Paper class, for example, that would capture each annotation item for a paper
 
* This would be ''in lieu'' of actually objectifying all annotations
 
 
 
 
 
== November 12, 2015 ==
 
 
 
=== Citace upload Dec 1st ===
 
 
 
=== SAB set for Feb 4-5, 2016 ===
 
 
 
=== Concise description form ===
 
* URL for listing genes mentioned in a paper
 
* Ranjana will send to Kimberly
 
 
 
=== Community curation CGI ===
 
* Almost ready for prime time
 
* ~155 e-mails sent out for allele-phenotype; ~25-30 responses
 
 
 
=== Scripts for community description form ===
 
* James wrote scripts that will need to inform community CGI
 
* Ranjana will work with Juancarlos
 
 
 
=== FlyBase text mining ===
 
* Text mining for Fly corpus, entity recognition and extraction, esp. for transgenes
 
* Need to improve SVM on transgene and allele recognition
 
* Textpresso working on tools for FlyBase
 
 
 
=== Phenotype SObA graph ===
 
* Making progress towards making the graph a widget on the gene page
 
* Still issues to iron out; working with Sibyl
 
* Some conflicts with Cytoscape for interactions vs. SObA
 
 
 
=== Data Visualization program opportunity ===
 
* Will have to write a grant
 
* Would pay for one person, get two with grant
 
* Anyone with ideas should consider a proposal
 
* Dec 15th deadline
 
 
 
=== WormBook ===
 
* Daniel prepared mockup for new web page
 
 
 
=== Biocuration meeting ===
 
* Mary Ann working out plans for community curation workshop
 
* Does PomBase track their community curation?
 
 
 
=== HT115 vs HT115(DE3) E.coli strains ===
 
* Redundant, should probably merge HT115 into HT115(DE3), as the RNAi-host E.coli strain
 
 
 
=== Visualization plans ===
 
* Karen e-mailed around older proposal for work with Santiago Lombeyda
 
* Original project was to upgrade visualization of pathways and virtual worm in WB page
 
 
 
 
 
== November 19, 2015 ==
 
 
 
=== Community curation ===
 
* Community e-mailing for allele-phenotype: 315 e-mails sent, 49 papers curated, 260 community annotations in the Phenotype OA
 
* Chris gave Paul list of all sy* alleles and phenotypes
 
* Paul going through table to add phenotypes not already in WB
 
* Paul using Textpresso and an allele-phenotype worksheet
 
* Do we want to create more elaborate forms or parallel forms? Probably parallel forms (in future)
 
* How can we assess completeness of curation? Very difficult to automate, currently
 
** Check figures and tables
 
** Ask authors about completeness
 
* Publication templates/worksheets? Streamline data submission concurrent with publication
 
* Can discuss at SAB in Feb
 
* We can send PI's/authors lists of alleles and what phenotypes WB has
 
 
 
=== Working with NCBI ===
 
* Interested in Textpresso text-mining and SVM categorizing
 
* How might we work with NCBI & PubMed Central to curate? They are willing to run SVM on PMC corpus
 
 
 
=== Minimum information requirements ===
 
* RNAi MI seemed bulky and not complete
 
* Asks authors for genes targeted, not dsRNA sequence
 
* We could write up a paragraph outlining the complaints about the proposed RNAi MI
 
* Maybe micropublish the paragraph
 
 
 
=== Micropublications ===
 
* Should go into PubMed Central
 
 
 
=== Allele descriptions ===
 
* Karen wants to adapt Ranjana and James' automated gene descriptions for alleles
 
* Start working on in January
 
 
 
=== SObA ===
 
* Juancarlos making progress on integrating into the WB site
 
* There are difficulties getting SObA into it's own widget on the gene page
 
** Conflicts with other settings (javascript / cytoscape) on same page, e.g. Interactions widget (w/Cytoscape viewer)
 
** Updated cytoscape.min.js version on Interactions viewer
 
 
 
=== Corresponding author curation ===
 
* Juancarlos and Cecilia have worked out a pipeline to capture corresponding authors for each paper
 
* Once paper editor changes are decided, can go live
 
 
 
=== WormBook chapters for WormBase ===
 
* Each chapter written for users, but we likely want to avoid too much technical jargon
 
* We do want transparency
 
* We can separate the chapters into less-technical and more-technical, for easier reading
