Agenda

Attending SAB at next consortium meeting

  • Should we plan on attending the morning session of the SAB? (need to know for travel plans)

Update on autophagy

  • FYI, The working group is meeting bimonthly. Among things in agenda: working on related SF requests; list of autophagy regulatory proteins for annotation; links with apoptosis and mitochondrial events.

PhD thesis on GO

  • FYI, Paola is external advisor for a PhD student, thesis title: “A matter of style. How classification practices and bio-ontologies shape current biomedical research” (graduation ~ Oct 2015). Not sure yet if this work will be published as such. Happy to send round Introduction and Working Plan to managers' list if you wish.

Author feedback form

Motivation

  • We have been asked several times about the quality of our annotations
  • Paul T mentioned that, at the Synapse meeting, an author said the annotations made from his paper were not accurate.
  • How about we send a form to authors and ask if the annotations made from their papers are correct or not?

Evidences for inferred annotations

Pascale Inferred annotations from interontology links are created using the same Evidence code and reference as the original annotation, but with GOC as the source. This is not really user-friendly. I propose to create a new evidence code that would more precisely describe the process, something like 'inferred from logical reasoning' (or whatever is the best way to describe this)

ECO

Pascale I have been working with Marcus to improve the ECOs, and I have an issue with the doubling of all evidences due to the 'automated' versus 'manual' assignment methods.
