Agenda

GO survey update

  • Action items: post news article on GO website; forward to collaborators and MODs mailing lists if not done already
  • Received 125 responses already
  • Sent to many mailing lists and individual addresses, including authors of GO papers as provided by Kimberly, GO helpdesk users, and people who took an EBI survey last year and declared they use GO

Shared Video for Conference Calls

  • We used to use Bluejeans, administered by Rama
  • Can we continue to use that? If not, what are the other options?
  • Bluejeans generally worked very well for the calls

Replacing Rama

Is someone taking over as annotation manager?

Use of Accessions and Identifiers in Curation

  • Following up on an item from the 2015-10-13 annotation conference call
  • Typically, GO curators use UniProtKB accessions, MOD gene IDs, RNACentral IDs, and IntAct or PRO protein complex IDs in Column 2
  • In Annotation Extensions (and also to some extent in the With/From column) curators may be opting to use other IDs to try to indicate a more specific entity, like an mRNA transcript
  • GO agreed some time ago that reference protein accessions and gene IDs would effectively be interchangeable and would mean one or more entities associated with that accession or ID
  • Are annotation extensions now being treated differently? Do we want that?
  • Can we handle isoforms in annotation extensions?
  • What is human readable/understandable vs machine readable wrt entity IDs in annotation extensions?
  • The ncRNA annotation guidelines that Rachael has put together in a paper should address this issue clearly and that paper is nearly ready to be submitted

Topics Leftover from 2015-10-07

Below not discussed:

Annotation Extension

  • has_regulation_target can all annotation with this relation be updated to regulates_transcription_of? Yes. We have to figure out who will do it.
  • Tony will send a list of annotations that have deprecated relations to all the groups.

Action item: groups will take time to rehouse the annotations (we will not delete/drop those annotations)

Reactome Annotations

  • contact a text miner to determine which papers (of the reactome set) correspond to which players (gene products) in the reactome annotations. Peter d’E will contact Jo McEntyre who may have already done this (cc-ing Claire).

Tracing the Annotation source

  • We need to form a working group to figure this out.

Chromatin Binding

  • In 2014 we decided to annotate ChiP experiments to chromatin (CC) and not chromatin binding (MF). We will continue with that practice. We should update documentation on this.

Other topics

  1. Follow-up: collaboration with Trey Ideker's group on autophagy (David)
    • This would be really good to show community engagement. Status update, publication plans, etc.
  2. Moving tickets from Jira (EBI instance, NOT Jira helpdesk) to GitHub (David)
