2018 Meetings
September 6, 2018
Genotype class
- Chris started initial document to draw up ?Genotype class and make appropriate changes to ?Strain class
- Would be good for people to look at so we can discuss next time
- Would also be good to have Kevin H take a look and provide feedback
Citace Upload
- Send citace files to Wen by Sept 18, 10am Pacific
Automated gene descriptions
- Group making improvements
- Added disease, protein domains
- When direct experimental evidence for disease relevance, will say "gene has been used to study"
- When minimal data (information-poor genes), we can refer to human ortholog and data stored for that human gene in Alliance
- Continue to receive feedback from users; include enrichment information, etc.
- Now have good trimming algorithms to retain important info without flooding a description with too many granular terms
- Will not store automated descriptions in Postgres
- Wen will modify SimpleMine scripts to accommodate change
- Would be good to write a paper on automated concise descriptions
- Came up at GO meeting/hackathon: Translating GO-CAM models into concise descriptions?
- Should be doable; just need to develop code when we're ready to do that
