Agenda
Reference Genome meeting update
Review Action Items
- ACTION ITEM: Judy, Petra, Karen, DongHui and Kimberley will write a white paper with an overview of how the different tools work, algorithm explanations, order of preference and pitfalls in identifying orthologs
- ACTION ITEM: Rex, Pascale, Emily will summarize the strategy used to identifying target genes and suggest possible improvements
- ACTION ITEM: Rex, Karen, Emily, Susan will write a list of information needed from curators to measure annotation progress
- ACTION ITEM: Rex, Judy, Ruth will summarize ideas on to how to capture breath and depth of annotations
- ACTION ITEM: Mary, Sohel, Chris will send a summary of what is being done by the software group
- ACTION ITEM: Pascale, Donghui will provide a framework for discussing consistency of annotations across genomes
- ACTION ITEM: Susan and Rex will present suggestions for publicizing the project and developing a web presence
Annotation Statistics
- How many of the human genes have orthologs identified ?
- How many of these have papers associated (are published genes) ?
- How many papers associated in total ?
- How many papers have been considered for GO curation ?
- How many papers provided GO terms ?
- How many genes which have papers associated are considered complete/comprehensive ?
Issues with target genes
- pombe (Val): takes a long time to triage papers
- GOA, pombe: too many genes per month
- not enough coordination between annotation efforts
- pombe/dictyBase: We would like to know when other databases have completed annotation
- Judy suggestion: Change from 'complete' to 'comprehensive' - Pascale: did we not have a wiki for doing that?
