Software Updates

Update on Proposal for a Tabular Editing Interface

  • Hoping to port over a spreadsheet-like interface from IncaTools project
    • Being used currently for editing DOS-DPs
    • Needs to be able to communicate with minerva
  • Part of the AGR project
    • Three-week time frame (funding) for Noctua development
  • Idea is to have a more P2GO-like, user friendly, intuitive annotation interface
  • Simple design idea is to provide columns that match the fields of a GO annotation
  • Will need input from curators familiar with the P2GO interface
  • One question is whether the table editor should be write only or read-write
    • Feedback so far is that, in the long run, curators would like read-write (i.e. full editing capability)
  • What will be the relation between editing preformed in the graphical interface and the information stored in the table editor?
  • Note that not all models will conform to a design pattern

Priority List

Viewing annotations in GPAD format

Handling evidence properly

  • No progress to report this week

Handling groups as output in the GPAD file

  • Minerva needs to be updated so that users groups, as recorded in the users.yaml file, is included in the annotation output

Creating biological processes to generate regulation annotations

  • Needs more context, examples for further discussion

Curators should evaluate their workflow for areas where we can improve efficiency - high priority

  • Submit tickets in geneontology/noctua
  • What's the development timeline here?
  • Note that many of these changes involve changing the fundamental graphics tool kit underlying the front end of Noctua - this will be a big endeavor

Import existing CC and BP annotations

  • The Cellular Component Companion exists
  • Accessed via clicking on the green box and scrolling down to 'Other operations'

Documentation

  • Google doc exists, but we still need updated SOPs for the mechanics of using the tool
  • Annotation guidelines, annotation philosophy still need fleshing out
  • One idea is to have an annotation documentation jamboree
