Concise descriptions
- Concise descriptions tool as a pilot for community annotation
- How can concise descriptions be generated on an automated basis?
- Prioritize with genes with little to no known information
- Focus on genes in other species
- GBrowse-visible description (30 character limit)
- Complex gene information will still be best handled manually
- Brugia malayi good starting point; Pristionchus and C. briggsae
- Ralf Sommer would help generate concise descriptions
- Working with Brugia community already
- Could we select what type of GBrowse description is visible (drug targets, molecular function (GO term?), secreted proteins etc.)? Using radio buttons, for example?
- Use GO annotations in automated fashion?
- Parasitic worm vs. Free-living worm descriptions (host, drugs, species-specific genes, etc.)
- 30-character controlled vocabulary for genes?
