WormBase-Caltech Weekly Calls
From WormBaseWiki
2012 Meetings
September 6, 2012
Canopus
- Will become a server (heavy outside access)
- Raymond will take precautions to restore properly; should take a week or less
- Used for:
- Picture curation
- Virtual worm web page & FTP
Grant Writing
- Approach & future plans - do we need to discuss and add more to proposal?
- Virtual worm access to data
- Browsing data
- Browse genes/proteins by class/GO annotation
- Intermine queries
- Queries can be saved and used again later (available to other users)
- Results can be stored and displayed on web pages
- Displaying large scale expression (microarray) data (from SPELL)
- SPELL data currently stored in relational (MySQL?) form
- We could extend the WormBase web app to interact with SPELL data
- RESTful-compliant data serving would be best
Migration away from ACEDB?
- Scalability - ACEDB does not scale to genome-scale studies
- We (EBI & OICR) spend a lot of time building ACEDB database
- ACEDB not actually used so much
- Makes more sense to adopt a more central database
- Migration would take place over entire grant cycle
- We should continue extending models as we see fit, in the meantime
Massmails
- Discuss again with Paul about Worm Breeder's Gazette and WormBook.
