Community curation volunteers

  • Tracking volunteers here

AFP pipeline

  • Will resend email requests to authors that haven't already responded

  • May work with people to help
  • Does the old AFP form still work? It should
  • If someone has a link to the old form, they won't get one for the new form

  • Received many submissions recently (>20% response rate)

Ontology Annotator

  • Need to work on Genotype OA dumper
  • Turns out semicolons are problematic (currently in genotypes and transgenes) for object names (ontology fields)
  • Ampersands (&) are also problematic for object names in the OA

Use Slack More

  • Slack is a good tool for quick communication among team members; would be good for all curators to join Slack to enable efficient communication

TAGC is virtual (4.22-25.2020)

FYI in case you missed it

  • You still have to register (it's free), if you hadn't before

summer students

  • Caltech SURF students (and other summer students worldwide) now are looking for projects
  • Maybe they could curate for WormBase
  • In addition to phenotype, they could curate:
    • Allele/lesion sequence curation (using Allele Sequence form); maybe Paul Davis could make a tutorial video?
    • Anatomy function, looking for novel info; opportunity to program/code

OA semicolon issue

  • Juancarlos has fixed the issues on sandbox
  • Curators should test on Mangolassi

Textmining/automation

  • Daniela will discuss with Christina Zorn from Xenbase
  • Will discuss SVM, AFP, Textpresso, etc.
