XenBase onboarding

ACTIONS

  • Kimberly and David will continue training XenBase curators, they will join the call
  • Jim is adding the Xenopus anatomy to the imports


Seth: no news from Malcom. Will follow up.


ECO and IEAs

In GPAD we mandate use of ECO over evidence codes. However, have we properly evaluated ECO for its use here? There is a massive mismatch in the GO meaning of IEA and the mapped term in ECO, see

  • Many Evidence codes do not match to the 3-letter evidence codes that we would map to
  • ACTION: Pascale to contact Michelle to set up some virtual meeting to discuss some issues we'd like to see fixed

Expertise - biological and/or technical and users.yaml versus group-contacts.tsv

https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/blob/master/metadata/group-contacts.csv https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/blob/master/metadata/users.yaml

See discussion in https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/pull/1447

  • users contain all users, including people not on the project anymore
  • Not sure where affiliations come from for eg Cath Brooksbank listed as GO_central).
  • users does not have GH handles
  • group-contacts includes only active members
  • 'Expertise' should like people's expertise or role (developer/curator)

-> How do we want to use those two files moving forward ? Do we need two files ?

  • Judy, Paul, Kimberly: would be nice to have expertise file
  • Paul: would like to use a GO term - high level term if possible
  • Maybe an activity for the GO virtual meeting

Publications

  • Val's matrix paper is available as a draft
  • Sent to go-top
  • Not on biorxiv as of 2020-04-21
