Ready for new round of phenotype requests

  • Some users are getting confused about the name & email prepopulation based on IP address
    • May want to stop autopopulating name and email or autopopulate based on email recipient only (encode in URL sent in email)
    • Could we use cookies? Possibly, but may only help if a computer is shared but the browser isn't
  • Current autocomplete expects exact match to person primary name; e.g. "Scott Emmons" will not match the official name "Scott Wilson Emmons"
    • Maybe we could improve search matching; algorithm from Cecilia/Juancarlos? Elastic search by Valerio?
    • Can we capture incomplete sessions? We may be able to learn from them. May be flooded by robot visits? Is it worth going through all the logs/sessions? Info is there if we want to look at it.
  • Will go ahead and send emails for only new set of papers (won't resend requests for papers that had emails sent in June/July)
  • Maybe go back to papers that already had a request sent at the 6 month time point
  • Include other papers in need of curation at bottom of email; possibly, would it turn off users?

Worm Phenotype Ontology

Provide provenance in query tools

  • Prompted by user question/request
  • Specifically in WOBr, Anatomy pages
  • WOBr provides genes annotated to term; should provide provenance of each gene and its annotations
  • Expression pattern and expression cluster gene lists (in context of Anatomy WOBr); want to provide provenance for this data
  • Provenance = an object ID, like "Expr1234" or "WBPaper00032062:age_regulated_genes" with link to relevant page

WOBr disease associations

  • Ranjana wondering if WOBr is using updated disease-gene associations
  • Gene association file (for disease) being generated by script; likely need to update where the data is coming from
  • Ranjana will discuss with Raymond and Kevin

New WormMine superuser

  • Now all template queries are owned by a new superuser
  • If people are interested in adding or editing templates talk to Chris or Paulo for superuser access
  • We were running into login, template ownership, and consistency issues

Next upload Nov 16

  • WS269 citace upload Tuesday, November 13
  • Can we add upload dates to Google calendar for WormBase?
