Agenda

1. Update from Biocuration 2016, April 10th-14th, 2016; Geneva, Switzerland

  • MAL attended and presented a talk
  • Abstract: https://easychair.org/conferences/submission.cgi?a=10690939;submission=2641703
    • Feedback on the presentation?
      • question from someone working on GO (GO curator): How do we annotate the data related to a subspecies (e.g. variety, cultivar, form...)?
    • Potential collaborators
      • Petra Ten Hoopen (EBI): works on a controlled list of traits that should be measured by the partners of her project. She might need some help to map the list to TO.
      • KE Lin (Rijk Zwaan): works on vegetable varieties. Interested in the approach in order to map his species specific breeders traits.
      • Sebastien Briois (Syngenta): was interested in using Planteome data.
      • Melissa Haedel (OHSU): phenopackets to annotate the breeders data.

Talks of Interest:

  • LEGO: expressing complex biological models using the Gene Ontology
  • Pubtator: Text mining genotype-phenotype associations at PubMed scale for database curation and precision medicine

4. Plant Trait Ontology updates

  • Recent revisions and changes to the equivalence axioms etc
  • Plans to do release

More details TBA:

5. AmiGO2 Update:

  • Issues of the relations and some things showing up in weird places
  • Significant changes:
    • Actual browser functionality
    • Neighborhood tab (was ancestors and children)
    • All relations will be displayed..?????
    • annotations by species

Other Items

Tabled from previous meetings:

OBA development- Chris Mungall

  • CM: If there is time I would like to walk through the procedure we use to develop OBA.
  • Part of this was covered in the tutorial on template-based ontology development, but we had to rush this part due to lack of time:

https://github.com/Planteome/protege-tutorial/tree/master/template-examples

  • For OBA, the source of the ontology is primarily in TSVs, found here:

https://github.com/obophenotype/bio-attribute-ontology/tree/master/src/ontology/modules

  • The design patterns are specified here:

https://github.com/obophenotype/bio-attribute-ontology/tree/master/src/ontology/patterns

  • Together these are used to build the ontology with equivalence axioms, with the entire ontology hierarchy being inferred automatically, e.g:
