WormBase-Caltech Weekly Calls
From WormBaseWiki
2013 Meetings
March 7, 2013
Grant
- Grant gets reviewed next week
- Should hear results in ~two weeks
Gene Concise Description form
- Ranjana, Kimberly working on form layout
- Easy to use form, simple drop down menus to select, e.g., Species
- Can users follow references for info?
- Citing references in concise descriptions has, in the past, greatly increased workload/time to write
- Prepopulated, precanned Textpresso info?
- Send out to targeted members of the community, get feedback; Who should we ask for other species?
- Curators could each try using form to make at least one concise descriptions, give feedback
- Prepopulation: Display all (key?) experimental info on gene from WormBase, some Textpresso info like "ABC-1 encodes..."
- Can promote form at the International meeting
Galaxy Workshop
- Screencast videos capturing use of Galaxy available
- Chris will send around
Genetic Interaction Ontology
- Perhaps add "what is expected" info during curation?
- Good to have a comparison of curation with core set of common papers
- Cross check for consistency of curation (at least terms should lay in same lineage, if not at same depth)

Cleaning up Citace Minus
- Stemming from Paul Davis' GitHub ticket pointing out small-scale data problems
- Bogus molecule objects (Chris will take care of)
- Homol_data from RNAi (and the housing RNAi objects) can be removed
- Ghost Expr_pattern objects, Wen taking care of (Xiaodong will remove from the Gene_regulation OA)
- Will need to create a better (more robust) pipeline for converting, for example, object names to WBID#'s
