Gene ID mapping problems (as discussed in site-wide call)
 
*Does CIT need to worry about consistency of gene IDs over database builds?
 
*Hyper-linking entities in papers could be an issue
 
*Acquire an ID for every gene for every new genome?
 
*When mark a paper, separate into two different types of genes :stable vs unstable
 
**Stable genes map to stable ID
 
**Unstable genes map with a version number
 
*WormBase communicate/work with DCC personnel for data wrangling during post-DCC era?
 
 
 
 
 
Updating Predicted Gene Interactions
 
*Wei wei asking about how to update with WormBase
 
*WormBase predicted interaction objects can be updated simply via link to Gene Orienteer
 
*If we want a live interaction browser, we would need to pull the data into the build process
 
*Do we want a single object per pair of genes? One object per instance of evidence (per paper)?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== November 10, 2011 ==
 
 
 
 
 
Worm Publication is under review
 
 
 
 
 
NAR paper is published - has DOI
 
*Williams et al has to be added to bibliography
 
 
 
 
 
Citace, Development Release
 
*Cron-jobs/scrips used to update the database, but now requires manual manipulation
 
*Manual versus automated updating of database
 
*Need a plan for the future
 
*Migration to EBI affecting the process; will things change again
 
*Where will WS release files exist
 
 
 
 
 
SVM
 
*Collecting feedback from curators
 
*Curators need to review results
 
 
 
 
 
Motifs in WormBase
 
*Xiaodong working on it
 
 
 
 
 
Interaction Model
 
*Discuss with Todd the integrated model of 4 types (physical, genetic, predicted, regulatory)
 
*Change WBID names (WBInteraction versus WBPhysicalInteraction, WBGeneticInteraction, WBRegulatoryInteraction, WBPredictedInteraction)
 
*Put together series of example data objects; send to Todd/Paul to test out
 
*Need Interaction_type tag to distinguish the 4 basic types
 
*Types will need to be parsed/extracted after the build for FTP download etc.
 
 
 
 
 
Human Disease Relevance Descriptions
 
*Started going in from last build
 
*Ranjana will discuss with Web Team
 
*Disease-paper connections
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== November, 17, 2011 ==
 
 
 
 
 
Handling 50-100+ genomes
 
*Annotation, gene finding, storage, handling
 
*~1 week to build all genome browsers and BLAT/BLAST servers
 
*Homology run takes longer; from Compara pipeline
 
*Species-by-species build processes?
 
*Lookup if genome in ACEDB; if not, look up gene models in GFF databases
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Beta site
 
*What is needed:
 
**Need eyes to look at current pages
 
**Suggestions as to what is needed on individual pages
 
*Currently not adding a lot of new features
 
*Data models browsable/searchable?
 
*If we provide AQL, need to provide data models
 
*Intermine will eventually make AQL obsolete(?)
 
*Run AQL queries from a local ACEDB instance for better performance (and fewer time outs)
 
*Time out limits currently set to 2 minutes on AQL queries
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Expression pattern curation
 
*Confidence flags
 
*Ex: expressed in HSNs, in HSNL
 
*Annotate to parent term unless explicitly (and confidently) stated observed in child term/object
 
*Consistency of curation?
 
*Discussion between Raymond, Wen, Daniela, etc.
 
*Want list of ALL genes expressed in a cell (with some cutoff)
 
*Also want list of genes expressed ONLY in that cell and not others
 
*New technology generating paradigm shift; how to best represent data
 
*Categorize data sets (based on methods)
 
*Use evidence codes (text?) to categorize (ECO?)
 
 
 
 
 
ncRNA transcripts
 
*To pull out ncRNA genes and GO terms (Sarah Burge)
 
*Need to exclude protein-coding genes from query
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
GO Meeting (Kimberly)
 
*A lot of changes to be put in place
 
*Infrastructure, annotation changes - we'll need to sort out what this means for WormBase
 
*Annotation: "Annotation extension" column to add additional info
 
*Make explicit annotations for gene products
 
*Next meeting in February at Stanford (focused annotation meeting)
 
**Workout specifications for common annotation framework
 
 
 
 
 
WormMart status
 
*Are we switching over to BioMart-run WormMart?
 
*OICR crew working on new data-loading tool
 
*Update still pending...
 
*Check modmine (http://intermine.modencode.org/)
 
 
 
 
 
Reviews in on SVM paper
 
*Maybe done in 3 weeks
 
*Reviewer wanted more metrics
