== August 3, 2017 ==
 
  
=== WB grant ===
+
== September 14, 2017 ==
* Progress (maintenance stuff) can be written as of last grant cycle
 
* Current projects and report the steady state
 
 
 
=== CRISPR alleles ===
 
* Some authors not reporting CRISPR alleles with standard nomenclature
 
* Some in Paul's lab creating same knockin with same name (should be distinct). Mary Ann to update nomenclature guidelines.
 
* Some (e.g. Bruce Bowerman) knock-in GFP in frame and use RNAi against GFP to knockdown endogenous gene
 
** RNAi mapping pipeline not setup to handle this
 
** Could maybe use endogenous sequence near insertion site (not ideal, for off-target effects)
 
** Maybe best, once new ?Phenotype_experiment model is in place, to just refer to perturbed gene
 
 
 
=== Ontology Browser ===
 
* Has been less stable lately; Raymond has needed to restart machine
 
* Being served from Dell server (in Braun building)
 
 
 
 
 
== August 10, 2017 ==
 
 
 
=== WormBase grant ===
 
* Neuronal wiring with Scott Emmons? Maybe not for this round
 
* Transcription regulatory networks? Is a priority
 
* Paul will assemble existing parts and send around for review
 
 
 
=== Entity markup ===
 
* InSilico entity linking project requires curator link checking - for missing links as well as for faulty links - bad links are already an issue when ambiguities exist and this will grow as an issue when we start marking up multiple mod entities in the same paper
 
* There is a brief summary table outlining the link URLs and predicted quality - this is a useful feature of the current system set up by Arun, we are creating the same type of feature in the new inteface
 
* Could Cecilia check links?
 
* New interface will come out in a few months; if anyone starts now, they'll have to relearn when the new interface comes out
 
* Eventually markup should be job of authors during the process of writing. Need an authoring tool - this can be made - there needs to be more discussion between wormbase, and insilico if this is going to be part of the insilico phase II or not
 
 
 
=== Sequence features ===
 
* Should we have a standard human readable names for sequence features?
 
* Should we consolidate several features associated with the same gene when displaying in network views?
 
* Is there an automated way to give them public names?
 
* Maybe name automatically, but then allow manual overwriting
 
* Use gene name when experimentally demonstrated connection
 
* Needs to be automated, rule-based
 
* Could name based on neighboring gene(s)
 
 
 
=== Person lineage graph ===
 
* Progress made in development, direct lineage running off of Datomic.  All of it will need to be completed before it can go into production.
 
 
 
=== Docker container system ===
 
* Potentially very useful for WB web services
 
 
 
=== Consider content for NAR paper ===
 
* Send ideas to Raymond
 
 
 
=== Micropublications ===
 
* Input for the WB grant?
 
* Could discuss microreviews
 
 
 
=== Concise descriptions ===
 
* Automated descriptions good for genes with little info
 
* Human-written descriptions good for genes with lots of info; don't change too frequently
 
* Some have suggested including protein domain info
 
 
 
 
 
== August 17, 2017 ==
 
 
 
=== Citace Upload ===
 
* Citace upload August 29th (most likely)
 
 
 
=== AGR 1.0 Disease data ===
 
* Discussion of cutting back scope to only gene-disease associations versus pushing back deadline
 
* Problems stem from the fact that gene objects have already been instantiated as objects with human-readable names, synonyms, etc.
 
* Objects like strains, genotypes, fish, etc. still need to be instantiated with symbols, synonyms etc. and so will be difficult to get set up for human-readable display and linking to MOD pages
 
* We've already pushed back the deadline twice before, so we probably don't want to do that again
 
* We can put up disclaimers or notifications that we are only showing gene-disease associations for now, but other associations (to genotypes, strains, etc.) will come soon
 
 
 
=== NAR paper community curation? ===
 
* Not much has changed about community curation fundamentally since last NAR paper
 
* Chris will write up update with specific numbers (response rates, annotation numbers, etc.) for NAR paper
 
 
 
=== Community curation submission requests ===
 
* Chris & Juancarlos updated request pipeline
 
* Now focusing just on first authors; allows more emails to go out each month
 
* Have sent 333 emails since beginning of August, have received annotations for 20 papers so far (6% response, but still early; average tends to be 16%)
 
* Sending out more emails should result in more responses in absolute number
 
 
 
=== Author First Pass (AFP) pipeline ===
 
* Karen brought up that the wrong author was emailed for AFP (Author First Pass)
 
* Probably an issue that last author happened to not be the corresponding author, may have thrown off automated detection of corresponding author
 
* To what extent do we and community benefit from the AFP pipeline?
 
* There may be cases where AFP flags a paper for a data type that was missed/false negative by SVM
 
* We can optimize/update the AFP form, leave it as is, or possibly abandon it
 
* Maybe Chris can take over over-seeing emails sent to authors for various requests
 
 
 
=== WB Grant ===
 
* Would like more specifics on future plans
 
* Chris will send Paul some details on future plans for community annotation
 
 
 
== August 31, 2017 ==
 
=== micropublications ===
 
* Mitani has submitted some for allele-phenotype and sequence change; we will not store the raw data for the sequence reads
 
=== author first pass ===
 
*we will keep for now, but re-evaluate more thoroughly in the coming weeks, particularly wrt possible links to the micropublication platform
 
=== the grant ===
 
* Paul will send around a version soon and will contact specific people if he needs more info on a certain section
 
=== topic lists for SPELL and SpellMine ===
 
* we should take advantage of GO ontology structure for browsing topic lists
 
=== new cuator ===
 
*Jae will start at WB on the 1st of September
 
*he'll work on PPI and possibly phenotype curation first, will add GO curation a bit later
