tm variation - gene associations

• Not all tm variation - gene associations are in the nightly geneace dump
• We need to retrieve the remainder from WS
• WS updates to postgres have apparently not been working for some time; script for downloading WS is not working
• We need a better way to get the WS updates
• Query WS on spica? automatically generate files from queries of WS on spica?
• Future proof: (when) should we start thinking about querying the Alliance, instead?

protein-containing complexes in WB

• The Complex Portal (EBI) group makes GO annotations to C. elegans protein-containing complexes
  • 448 annotations to 132 unique protein-containing complexes
  • We currently can't do anything with these annotations, although we will be able to bring in derived annotations to the individual members (once evidence code issues get sorted out)
• What do we think about instantiating protein-containing complexes in WB?
• How would this fit into the Alliance roadmap?
