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)?
