== April 6, 2017 ==
 
 
=== AGR time spent ===
 
* Paul S asking about %time spent on AGR project
 
* Time spent on working groups, conference calls, AGR development
 
* Send estimates to Paul
 
 
=== SimpleMine ===
 
* Two tables added to SimpleMine for human orthology
 
* Now SimpleMine output has many columns (30+)
 
* We may want to give users the option to specify which output they want
 
* Users could specify groups of data (with checkboxes): gene IDs/names, phenotypes, orthology, etc.
 
* All checkboxes can be checked by default
 
 
=== Enrichment tools ===
 
* Raymond working on display for paper
 
 
=== Gene Ontology SObA graph ===
 
* Raymond, Juancarlos working on
 
* Working on paper
 
 
=== WormMine updates ===
 
* WS258 adding gene class
 
* WS259 adding more info (almost all meta data) on variations, laboratory and strains, RNAi phenotypes (hopefully)
 
* Expression data in WormMine is problematic
 
* Many genes being annotated to the same ~6 tissues or so
 
* Resulting in erroneous data for some genes
 
* Chris will send GitHub ticket to Todd
 
* Todd will discuss with Paulo today
 
 
=== Gene Ontology ===
 
* Some very complex terms becoming immediate children of root terms (e.g. "biological process")
 
* May be result of attempt to create logical definitions/equivalence axioms
 
* Raymond will discuss with Kimberly
 
 
 
== April 13, 2017 ==
 
 
=== Methods in Molecular Biology chapter ===
 
* Chapter draft sent out Monday night
 
* Will send to Martin at MiMB by late next week
 
* Please take a look and send comments
 
* Authors check their sections and send figure legends to Chris
 
 
=== Progress report ===
 
* If someone finds the 2016 report, send around to group
 
* May 1st deadline (need to verify)
 
 
=== 2017 IWM ===
 
* Early registration Deadline May 18th
 
 
=== Models for citace ===
 
* Wen will fit models to local citace, should be ready by tomorrow
 
 
=== Citace Upload ===
 
* Tuesday, April 25th, 10am
 
 
=== Enrichment tool ===
 
* Now available for gene ontology and phenotype on live site
 
* Paper being submitted soon
 
* Need to change "Tissue Enrichment Analysis" link title under WormBase Tools menu
 
 
=== SObA for Gene Ontology ===
 
* Data source was server on Berkeley BOP; thought it was public but were discouraged to use
 
* Seth Carbon said we could use it but might not always be working; now it seems to be down or dysfunctional
 
* SObA for GO will be broken until we install our own local server (Raymond working on)
 
 
=== Dumping data for upload, taking over for Karen ===
 
* Karen will take care of dumping and uploading the data for this upload
 
* Karen will review the molecule curation with other curators at the IWM
 
 
=== Datomic meeting ===
 
* Matt, Sibyl, Adam, Todd, Juancarlos, Raymond sat in
 
* Raymond: thought Datomic would take over from ACEDB completely, but it seems we will still use ACEDB for some time for e.g. FMap
 
* Seems there should be an executive meeting about Datomic to make clear what it will be used for and what it won't be used for
 
* Several web pages and widgets are now being served by Datomic
 
* There's a question about how we now handle model changes going forward
 
* Juancarlos will send around link for newest Datomic querying tool; may require access for specific IP addresses
 
 
 
== April 20, 2017 ==
 
 
=== Gene Ontology data for SObA ===
 
* Use of GO server; hasn't been reliable
 
* Raymond working on establishing our own server to host all GO data
 
* Raymond and Juancarlos will keep working on SObA representation of GO annotations
 
 
=== Progress Report ===
 
* WS259 can be used as the current reference
 
* Paul will send around last year's progress report
 
* What was the last release that we referenced in last year's progress report? We'll say WS254
 
* Wen will generate numbers for WS254 (resurrect WS254 ACEDB)
 
* Opportunity to specify/narrow scope of project
 
* Want to push community/automated curation, with curators laying foundation of data models, forms
 
* Promote LEGO curation; need to learn what needs to be said about plan going forward/what we want to accomplish
 
 
=== LEGO curation ===
 
* Phenotype curation in LEGO? Need to review phenotype-to-GO pipeline
 
* Want/need a mapping of phenotype terms to GO process terms; may require context-dependent mapping (e.g. "dumpy" phenotype)
 
* We don't make direct associations of phenotypes to LEGO models, although we do have "inferred from mutant phenotype" evidence code
 
* Want a mechanism to automate conversion of WB annotations into LEGO models
 
* Want a display mechanism that is user friendly, convert hairball into pathway
 
* We could focus on a particular topic/disease and collectively contribute
 
* Do we want to write a proposal to take existing, granular annotations (e.g. at level of mutation details) and map to LEGO model?
 
* Can we integrate the micropublication pipeline into LEGO model generation?
 
* How to assess the confidence of assertions?
 
 
=== Follow up on transgene question from user ===
 
* Karen will contact authors of paper
 
 
=== Citace upload ===
 
* Tuesday, Apr 25th, 10am
 
 
 
 
== April 27, 2017 ==
 
 
=== Gene Ontology data for SObA ===
 
* All GO annotation data loaded at Caltech (bigGO solr database, 54GB)
 
* 100 species, 922296 bioentity (protein, gene product ...)
 
* [http://131.215.12.204/~raymond/cgi-bin/soba_biggo.cgi Testing site], try
 
  let-23, KRas (human)
 
  eat-4, SLC17A7 (human)
 
* Heavy querying may cause the server to go down; need to check why
 
* ~7 hours to load
 
* Can there be an option to specify a GO term and zoom in to that portion of the graph?
 
* Implement a GO-Slim browsing functionality?
 
* MGI has tissue=stage matrix, good for drilling down the annotations by the ontology/hierarchy:
 
** http://www.informatics.jax.org/gxd/marker/MGI:88351?tab=stagegridtab#gxd=markerMgiId%3DMGI%3A88351%26theilerStage%3D%26assayType%3D%26results%3D100%26startIndex%3D0%26sort%3D%26dir%3Dasc%26tab%3Dstagegridtab
 
* Matrix is a nice complement to the SObA graph when the graph is very complex
 
* Would be nice to have a term or branch search to draw attention to relevant section of graph
 
* Would we want faceted search of species? Maybe, but may not be necessary for only 100 species
 
* Can put focus species (AGR species?) at the top, rest alphabetical
 
* Pie chart representation, comparative view of different species/taxa, each pie "slice" represents number of annotations from that species
 
* We could filter on experimental evidence codes (in addition to IEA filter)
 
 
=== AGR lexica ===
 
* Karen's SBIR, trying to get gene names from each AGR database
 
* Non-trivial, in some cases, to query out curated papers list
 
 
=== Micropublications ===
 
* Call for gene expression micropublications
 
* Blog post
 
* Working on micropublication booklet to distribute at IWM
 
 
=== Methods in Molecular Biology chapter ===
 
* Submitted last Friday

Strategies for GO-CAM (Noctua) curation

  • GO-CAM (Gene Ontology - Causal Activity Model(ing))
  • Proposal for curation report page (Kimberly)
  • Paper-by-paper approach vs. big-picture approach
  • Kimberly presented proposal for curation tool:
    • Given a list of genes and keywords, tool could pull up all relevant annotations to help start with GO CAM model building
    • Tool could return GO annotations, expression patterns, phenotypes, interaction-based phenotypes, etc.
  • Could have a table to fill out that could then be imported into Noctua
  • Can we use SObA to visualize relevant annotations for a set of genes? Help visualize common vs. distinct annotations?
  • Process could highlight the need for micropublications

GO SObA

  • Raymond & Juancarlos have been working on autocomplete tool for search bar; not trivial
