Agenda and Notes

News:

• Submitted the revisions on the NAR Paper- accepted for publication 10-30-17

Changes to the browser: Currently on dev

• • Can now search for an ECO term and see all the annotations that are associated with it
  • Eg.: New: There will only be the “link to annotations” on ontologies we specify where there are annotations (under ‘related options’)- GO, PECO, TO, PO
  • Can filter and bookmark the search for annotations

• Evidence Type Filters
  • Displays the ECO term label, but not the ECO IDS
  • ECO terms need to be linked to the short codes- they have been mapped by GOC
  • Mapping is not displayed, done by GOC http://geneontology.org/page/guide-go-evidence-codes

• PJ: Is the ECO tree correctly capturing the annotations that are flowing from child terms to parent terms?
• IAGP- does it have a mapping to the ECO terms?- see email from Seth and Justin

• PJ: we need to append the ECO term label in the filter list with the actual ECO ID
  • How should this be done? We would have to modify the ECO ontology file
• PJ: modify the facet to display the IDs- would take time
  • ECO ID could be appended to the ECO label- CM’s suggestion, but who would do this and where?
  • Could fork our own ECO, and modify but then we have the issue of maintaining it and staying in synch with the main file
  • Could the IDs and/or code be added by a script in the loading process?

LC: Would be great to have the three letter code be a link to the evidence code- but cannot do that right now as the mapping are not there.

• Maybe we should be using the ECO ID in the annotations?
• Need to display: Short code\ ECO ID\ ECO label are not shown together

• Planteome Evidence codes page: http://planteome.org/evidence_codes
  • Needs to be updated, make consistent with the http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Evidence_Code_Ontology_(ECO)
• Could we display the ECO tree in the DD browser?
  • No, it would mess up other things, only displays the internal ontologies

• Revisions to Base Statistics: http://dev.planteome.org/amigo/base_statistics
  • Can get to it from here: http://browser.planteome.org/amigo/software_list

• Was only displaying GO annotations
  • Need to update the text at the top still- this is done on dev, still needs to be fixed on live

• Three types of visualizations:
  • Shows annotations by ontology aspect, IEA annotations
  • PJ: can the axes be reversed? - It would make it easier to read the species, and aspects
  • The ‘Annotations by evidence’ are based on the ECO codes-

• Annotations by species
• Annotations by evidence
• Ontology annotations by aspect/species by evidence

• New AmiGO features:
  • Now can see all the annotations with different evidence codes
  • Will need to make the same changes on live and at CyVerse

Visit to BTI at Cornell last week - MAL attended all week, LC visited Thurs and Friday RTB Program of CGIAR crops: root, tuber and banana- also includes cassava, sweet potato, potato, and yam Goal was to set up the synchronization between CO and GitHub, Training on Protege to update the file

Migrated all ontologies to plantoeme, Marie sorted out all the inconsistencies between files and got them straightened out Issue to highlight problems with variable Protested master branches in each repo- needs to be reviewed Banana ontology file needs to be added once Guillaume returns Clean up versions on the GitHub, need to add the mappings? Changes pushed automatically to CO website- all done through Github API- uses webhook, then can be downloaded in the TD format

Eg. testing in the Sweet potato repo currently, still need to add the component for adding the terms to the CO database

Should be done by next week Mapping for yam and banana next up

PJ: comments on the crop ontologies- curators don’t really need the hierarchy tree Cassava does not have a large # of terms Show them how they can use the TO- mapping of traits and variables Can use the hierarchy to guide their work…

Obtaining data for TO-CO paper Talked with Naama and Lukas, checking with data owners to be sure its ok, yield data

Displaying the TO on the ontology browser at the RTB site eg. Cassavabase? Naama said they need to do some testing Need a login to see the Variable Submission Form

Is the version of the cassava ontology on Cassavabase the same as the one on Planteome? Maire says yes, need to check, has the hierarchy from CO

New Variable Submission form for breeders or users to request terms from curators: http://submit.rtbbase.org/ Opens an issue tracker in the appropriate repository, but how can they track the issue? Curators: Brian- BTI- which crop? Afola- yam, cassava Guillaume, Rhianon- banana Dorcas- CIP- sweet potato and potato

This could be very useful for the TO for people to request terms for the TO- good for outside users Designed to be used for requesting traits one by one Do not need to supply all the info in the form All fields are mandatory

WDIWG paper is out- needs planteome reference and cite the funding source. https://f1000research.com/articles/6-1843/v1 http://datastandards.wheatis.org

Changes to Plant Experimental Conditions Ontology- PECO Was formerly Plant Environment Ontology (EO) The numbers have not changed, just the namespace has been chnged Add in the EO ids as an alt ID Created release versions to link to from OBO Foundry and reorganized the repository Editor’s version is peco-edit.obo Should we have a conversion from peco-edit.obo to peco-edit.owl MAL: we should be using the Makefile (although it’s not ready yet), to transform. run whenever a change is made in the edit file. Repo is structured as recommended by CM Note that the EO terms are still being imported with TO- what do we need to do the change those? MAL will change those MAL: JE will need to change the catalog file...

BS: Need to send out notifications about the change from EO to PECO, check who is using EO https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/eo Gramene archive site http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/ontologies/EO https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/PECO http://aber-owl.net/ontology/EO http://www.ontobee.org/ontology/EO http://semanticportal.esipfed.org/ontologies/PEO https://arapheno.1001genomes.org/ontology/PECO/EO:0001001 http://elixir-portugal.org/peao-ontology-plant-experimental-pipelines http://identifiers.org/registry http://vest.agrisemantics.org/content/plant-environment-ontology http://gensc.org/the-plant-specimen-contextual-data-consensus/ http://ontofox.hegroup.org/tutorial/lists.php http://terraref.org/articles/existing-data-standards-and-tools/#vocabularies-and-ontologies http://www.phenotypercn.org/?page_id=1483

What do we want to do on the renewal? What preparations do we need to do? Do we need to do some work to show how it will be pulled off? Two weeks brainstorming sessions, then come back together and discuss Kick off in December, follow up at PAG AM: Outline has been shared with CM and Jorrit, focusing on the Samara germplasm one first, avoiding overlap with ICBO paper In the Planteome Publications folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B71O1Y7eIKhsQ3VtTDhqTkxRUnM?usp=sharing

PJ: GO annotations for reference genomes, sending back to Ensemble and Uniprot- JE, AM, PJ working on it. Starting with rice AM adding references, putting them in the PO?
