== December 5, 2013 ==
 
 
 
=== WBPapers sans ''C. elegans'' data ===
 
* There are papers in the WormBase collection that are used as paper evidence for some concise descriptions
 
* They don't refer to ''C. elegans'' experiments, but were used to write descriptions with characterizations in other organisms
 
* These papers are lumped in with all the other papers, come up as false positives in flagging pipelines
 
* They have a "functional annotation" tag
 
* Many of these were coming up in the disease paper pipeline
 
* Michael and Kimberly worked to pull out all papers with this problem
 
* Some are methods papers, some possibly mistakes, etc.
 
* Main question: do we want to take 'functional annotation' papers out of Textpresso/Curation pipelines?
 
* Are the 'functional annotation' tags unique or otherwise mutually exclusive? Yes, historically
 
* We will change the name of the tag to "non_nematode" and exclude the papers from flagging pipelines (SVM, Textpresso, etc.)
 
* Will need to change in Postgres (Paper Display "curation_flags", Paper Editor).  Curators need to check their scripts to see if they use this and update it or talk to Juancarlos (search for 'functional_annotation')
 
 
 
=== Topic Curation ===
 
 
 
==== WS241 ====
 
* UPR (Unfolded Protein Response)
 
* Chris and Karen playing with pathways diagrams on WikiPathways, Google Slides, and Prezi (SVG presentation); will send around
 
* May be nice to have a video overview with narration from Prezi presentation, and details (with evidence) captured in WikiPathways
 
 
 
==== WS242 ====
 
* Small/ncRNA pathways?
 
* We will stick to miRNA pathways, specifically biogenesis (transcription through to mature miRNA)
 
* Chris will send around WBPaper IDs for papers flagged by PubMed Mesh headers for "C. elegans" and "miRNAs"
 
* We will get a copy of [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23890211 Alla Grishok's recent (2013) small RNA pathway review]
 
* We can identify core components of the miRNA biogenesis pathway and filter the WBPaper list based on references to those genes
 
* Alternatively (or in parallel), we can break up the ~300 miRNA ''C. elegans'' papers into groups and delegate the screening of relevance
 
 
 
==== LEGO (Logical Extensions of Gene Ontology) ====
 
* Discussions with Paul Thomas on Thursday, January 23, 2014
 
 
 
==== Topics and Subtopics ====
 
* We don't want to recreate Gene Ontology or a complicated hierarchy of topics
 
* We may need to create simple parent/child, topic/subtopic relationships
 
* We can show general pathway/topic overview on parent topic, specifics on subtopic pages
 
 
 
==== Discussions with WikiPathways ====
 
* We may consider inviting Alex Pico to come talk to us about feature requests, discussion of future plans, current WikiPathway features
 
* Would be nice to link out to other pathways from inside a pathway (e.g. Link to "Innate Immunity" from "Unfolded Protein Response")
 
 
 
=== AMIGO development ===
 
* Setting up backend:
 
** Juancarlos is learning how to use Catalyst
 
** Todd gave Juancarlos access to a development environment
 
** Raymond and Juancarlos figuring out web code structure
 
* May be good to have Juancarlos visit/meet with web team to determine best integration practices
 
 
 
=== Database changes to WormBase ===
 
* Discussion/meeting in March 2014
 
* Paul Sternberg, Juancarlos, and maybe one curator will join in
 
* Need to 'boil down' the candidates to a small number and test things like: data model changes, capturing biological data, scalability, web performance
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== December 12, 2013 ==
 
 
 
=== AGENDA ===
 
* Progress on collecting papers for miRNA biogenesis topic
 
 
 
=== Topic Curation WS242: miRNA pathway ===
 
* Currently have Google Docs for tracking miRNA papers
 
* Collected all papers from PubMed with MeSH headers for "micro RNAs" and "Caenorhabditis elegans"
 
* Will upload all WBPapers for miRNAs into the Topic Curation OA, under "miRNA Pathway"
 
* Will break up remaining "unchecked" papers 5 ways to check for relevance
 
 
 
=== ?Construct Model ===
 
* Need to discuss how the construct model should be structured
 
* Incorporation for expression pattern curation, sequence features, Crispr-Cas genome editing alleles, ...
 
* Hopefully we can sort out this model for the next upload
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== December 19, 2013 ==
 
 
 
=== AGENDA ===
 
* miRNA Pathway topic curation
 
** Please continue to add pathway figures from papers [https://docs.google.com/a/wormbase.org/presentation/d/1Pt8uICOgsrHfHBamqe4jSBE4owlEfbLCzZ3G7mFGbkQ/edit#slide=id.p here]
 
** Feel free to play around with ways to diagram the miRNA pathway in Google Slides [https://docs.google.com/a/wormbase.org/presentation/d/1CXhUO42v2cefh5ws_9u48K03nNJZ5-wxviSw834tKh8/edit#slide=id.g29979cf49_08 here]
 
* Curation of protein complexes?
 
* Updated Mitochondrial UPR WikiPathway [http://www.wikipathways.org/index.php/Pathway:WP525 here]
 
 
 
=== Conference Calls in January 2014 ===
 
* January 9th and 23rd
 
* Should discuss ?Construct model on the 9th?
 
 
 
=== WormBase Models meeting: March 9, 2014, Toronto, Canada ===
 
* Which curators should join?
 
* What are the important considerations?
 
* What system might enable ~real-time annotations or corrections to the database/site?
 
 
 
=== Life Stages for Burgia malayi ===
 
* Defined by Mark Blaxter et al
 
* "Infective Juveniles", "IJs" included
 
 
 
=== Topic Curation ===
 
* WikiPathways is good but clunky; easier to draw up ideas in other formats (e.g. Google Slides?)
 
* Would be good to discuss feature development of WikiPathways (and others?) with respective developers
 
* Reactome? LEGO?
 
* We can discuss with Alex Pico, for example, about WikiPathways features
 
** May be best if we wait until the new WikiPathways layout is released, or maybe we can get access to a Beta version of the new interface
