2017 Meetings

Who from WormBase will go?
- Raymond (SObA), Chris (Community curation), Mary Ann, Wen would like to go
- Daniela maybe for micropublication

June 2017
Whether all WB staff go depends on whether we have an all hands meeting before/after
Plenty of things to present; AGR stuff etc.

Kimberly working on different C. elegans models
Working on several pathways simultaneously
Should be in production soon (this year), fully evidenced
Full benefit may not be apparent until AGR has LEGO fully integrated
Working out how inferred annotations propagate from Noctua/LEGO model to GAF
MGI creating many LEGO models
How are curators, that went to training, using LEGO?
Curation level view may not be amenable to general biologist/user viewing
What is the best existing pathway display? WikiPathways? Protege?
GO people (Seth, Chris M., Suzi etc.) are working on display, but have limited resources for this
Maybe we could work with WikiPathways team?
Pathway studio at RGD? Manually generated
Should WB have a LEGO call? Yes, probably
Curators may need access to Protein2GO for full curation/inference by sequence similarity
How do we/should we resolve parallel pipelines for curating cellular component data (Go versus Expression pattern)?
How do we accommodate specific versus general processes? E.g. specific versus general cell division
We would like a mechanism for a LEGO curator to pull relevant data from GAF
We would like curators to focus on pathway perspective of curation, where authors can submit experimental details with a potential automated or semi-automated mechanism to bridge the gap

Daniela and Sibyl working on a more compact display of the expression data widget on gene pages
Should we keep subcellular localization in the expression widget? Yes

Raymond and Juancarlos working on
First for WormBase, eventually want for AGR
For GO data, will have three different roots (for each branch of GO); One DAG for each
Could have phenotype graphs from particular perspective, e.g. via anatomy, via life stage, via GO, etc.
Would be great to have a comparative view mechanism

Confirm time: Mondays, 11am PST (2pm EST/7pm GMT)
Start January 23rd
Format?
- Start with curation of one paper together?
  - Possible paper: The Intestinal Copper Exporter CUA-1 Is Required for Systemic Copper Homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans.
- Curators then select individual topics?
