RefGenome07Aug07 Phone Conference (Archived)
Review Action Items
Tuesday August 7, 2007, 10 AM CDT (8 AM PDT, 4 PM BST)
- Judy, Petra, Karen, DongHui and Kimberley summarize how the different Tools for identifying orthologs work, algorithm explanations, order of preference and pitfalls in identifying orthologs
- RG software group and some curators will have a phone conference to discuss the new tool
- Annotation consistency/ quality control: Rex and Pascale will send all the curators on the RG mailing list a list of genes to verify; we'll see how it goes and discuss next time
- Continue discussion on Outreach: publicizing the project and developing a web presence (lead by Susan and Rex)
- Continue discussion on Metrics: breath and depth of annotations (Rex, Judy, Ruth)
Curation QC
- example: ATPAF2
- The idea is each curator (or a small group of curators) could generate a page like this when curating a gene; other groups could consult the page when curating the ortholog from their database
Curation Targets
- We have now shared a spreadsheet where curators can make suggestions for targets
[[1]]
- RGD (Mary Shimoyama) sent two lists: one of neurological and cardiovascular diseases (692 genes); the other with genes associated with obesity (1222 genes).
Reference genome curation tool
- Sohel has made a new version of the interface
http://rails-dev.bioinformatics.northwestern.edu:24000/
- Keep sending comments; however since Sohel leaves July 31, development will be delayed
Next meeting
