2011 Meetings
November 3, 2011
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
