New Issues

Signaling Project and Cambridge Meeting

• Project strategy
  • We have an annotation call on next Tuesday, July 11th and we should have a (proposed) strategy in place for that call
  • Divide each ~two-week period into specific annotation and ontology issues
    • For example, first week would be annotation of ligands and receptors
  • Make sure we strike the right balance between:
    • theoretical (relations between MFs, BPs; representation in the ontology)
    • practical (consistent annotations; annotation guidelines that reflect experiments reported in the literature)
  • Review and flag all existing github tickets in ontology and annotation repositories
    • Add signaling label to annotation repository (one exists already in ontology)
• Cambridge meeting, Sunday, October 1st
  • Any funding available for non GO-funded groups?

GO AGR Slim

• Modification to AGR slim
• What should AGR/MOD GO curators be doing for this?

Annotation Qualifiers

• What are the next steps?
  • Add guidelines to github documentation with examples for use of each BP qualifier (include positive and negative directionality)
  • Propose a half-day online working group meeting for this
    • acts_upstream_of_or_within
    • acts_upstream_of
    • involved_in
    • regulates
  • Decide on SOP for legacy annotations
    • This may be different for different annotation groups.
    • What would be involved in providing computational approaches to help curators?
