2012 Meetings
December 6, 2012
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; Also, 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 (potential drug targets, molecular function (GO term?), secreted proteases, resistance locus, 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?
- Annotate (and then display) based on drug sensitivity, resistance, no effect? Show "potential" drug interactions?
- Icons on genes indicating drug interaction, for example
PAINT meeting
- Ranjana going to next week
- PAINT: Panther tree-based transfer of GO annotations across species
- Orthologs/paralogs adopt annotations
AMIGO update
- Can display our ontologies now
- User interface may take some time
- Would be best if Raymond could work with a programmer (Juancarlos?)
Remark field display issues
- Todd commented that he would like the "Remark" and "Summary" fields to display similar type of info across all pages/objects/data-types
- Transgene curation (and others?) may need adjustment to what goes in the "Summary" and "Remark" field
- May create new tag to accommodate info?
Upload
- Data upload will be Dec 20th
- Database build will happen second week of Janurary
