Hi, I've been lurking on this list for a while, and I see that there's some interest in microarray data from the last call minutes. I run the ArrayExpress database and we have some resources that may be of interest to this group: 1. We have text mined much of the Affymetrix GEO data, curated it and imported it into ArrayExpress - there is now much better sample annotation than the native data in GEO. We also are running QC across all the data files so we know which should be excluded for future analyses. 2. We have developed an ontology for text mining and visualisation of the data - it's been tested by us and the Bioportal and gives the best coverage on public domain gene expression data of all tested ontologies - the next best is the NCI thesaurus. It's not very rich for neuroscience, but we could improve it if there's interest and use cases www.ebi.ac.uk/efo 3. We have summary level data of genes x conditions for ~30,000 hybs worth of data in our gene expression atlas with p values indicating relative under/over-expression. We are planning to export these as triples as soon as we publish the atlas - these may be of interest. www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa - there's an API at present, but it will be improved in the next month or so. 4. If neuroscience data is of specific interest we could do a themed atlas release where we add datasets for a given community or project and make these available. These can be identified by ArrayExpress or GEO accession or pubmed and we can re-annotate the genes vs Uniprot/Ensembl, add GO terms, etc and curate the sample attributes and experimental variables. These pipelines are already in place as part of our production workflow. I'd be very happy to collaborate, and for this group to use our data, we spend a lot of time adding semantic value to it, so please let me know if this is of interest best regards Helen Kei Cheung wrote: > The minutes for yesterday's BioRDF call are available at: > > http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/Meetings/2009-07-20_Conference_Call > > > Thanks to Lena for scribing and Eric for retrieving the transcript > from the IRC log. > > Cheers, > > -Kei > > Kei Cheung wrote: >> This is a reminder that the next BioRDF teleconf. will be held at 11 >> am EDT (5 pm CET) on Monday, July 20 (see details below). >> >> I created the following wiki page for discussing the microarray use >> case: >> >> http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/QueryFederation2 >> >> Cheers, >> >> -Kei >> >> == Conference Details == >> * Date of Call: Monday July 20, 2009 >> * Time of Call: 11:00 am Eastern Time >> * Dial-In #: +1.617.761.6200 (Cambridge, MA) >> * Dial-In #: +33.4.89.06.34.99 (Nice, France) >> * Dial-In #: +44.117.370.6152 (Bristol, UK) >> * Participant Access Code: 4257 ("HCLS") >> * IRC Channel: irc.w3.org port 6665 channel #hcls (see >> [http://www.w3.org/Project/IRC/ W3C IRC page] for details, or see >> [http://cgi.w3.org/member-bin/irc/irc.cgi Web IRC]) >> * Duration: ~1 hour >> * Frequency: bi-weekly >> * Convener: Kei Cheung >> >> == Agenda == >> * Roll call and introduction (Kei) >> * TCM data quick update (Jun, Kei) >> * Query federation use case expanison (microarray) (All) >> >> >> >> > > -- Helen Parkinson, PhD ArrayExpress Production Coordinator, Microarray Informatics Team, EBI EBI 01223 494672 Skype: helen.parkinson.ebi
