Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: GENEBOREE


1
  • GENEBOREE
  • A Tool for Collaborative Gene Annotation
  • DOE Joint Genome Institute
  • Integrated Microbial Genomes
  • Annette Greiner
  • Anya Kartavenko
  • Rowena Luk

2
A Genetics Primer
3
Geneboree
  • Collaborative gene annotation
  • Geographically distributed
  • Open to all bioscientists

4
Goals
  • Credibility
  • Security
  • Standards
  • Ease of use
  • Seamless integration

5
Developing Personas
  • Interviews at JGI
  • Professional annotators (3)
  • Scientists (1)
  • Interviews with field scientists
  • UC Berkeley (2)
  • LBL (3)

6
Personas
  • Bill Newman, PhD, 48
  • Staff Scientist at Los Alamos National Lab
  • Microbial bioterrorism
  • Naïve computer user and recognized authority in
    his field
  • Martha Jane Gilbert, PhD, 30
  • Postdoctoral fellow at University of Oxford, UK
  • Metagenomics
  • Intermediate computer user and fairly experienced
    professional
  • Phil Dupont, 24 (Primary User)
  • Third year PhD student at Rutgers University
  • Fungi studies in evolutionary biology
  • Expert computer user and least experienced
    professional

7
Fourth Persona
  • Bill Newman, PhD, 48
  • Staff Scientist at Los Alamos National Lab
  • Microbial bioterrorism
  • Naïve computer user and recognized authority in
    his field
  • Martha Jane Gilbert, PhD, 30
  • Postdoctoral fellow at University of Oxford, UK
  • Metagenomics
  • Experienced computer user and fairly experienced
    professional
  • Phil Dupont, 24 (Primary User)
  • Third year PhD student at Rutgers University
  • Fungi studies in evolutionary biology
  • Expert computer user and least experienced
    professional
  • Ann Taylor, 35
  • Professional annotator at Sanger Institute, UK
  • Updates automatic annotations
  • Intermediate computer user and expert annotator

8
Scenario Bill
  • Compares gene sequences from Chernobyl and finds
    an oddball
  • Verifies annotators credibility
  • Updates annotation

9
Scenario Martha Jane
  • Searches IMG for genes involved in carbon
    fixation
  • Notices that most results were automatically
    annotated and not reliable
  • Makes a comment on all of the genes in her set

10
Scenario Phil
  • Decides to transfer annotation from one homolog
    to his gene of interest
  • Just to be sure, he checks his assumptions
    against a phylogenetic tree and finds that the
    annotation he wanted to transfer was inaccurate
  • Corrects annotation of the homolog and annotates
    his gene of interest

11
First Interactive Prototype
  • Built with Dreamweaver/PHP/MySQL
  • Dreamweaver templates control navigation, headers
  • PHP and MySQL make pages dynamic

12
First Interactive Prototype
  • Prototype uses the existing IMG site for existing
    IMG functions
  • IMG (http//img.jgi.doe.gov)
  • Gene searches
  • Comparative tools
  • Geneboree (http//groups.sims.berkeley.edu/annotat
    ion)
  • Collaborative annotation
  • Discussion about gene function
  • Authentication

13
First Interactive Prototype
  • Differences from paper prototype
  • No drafts
  • Replies to batch discussion
  • Automatic previews (can be turned off in prefs)
  • Voting buttons on gene cart page
  • Hyperlinks in discussions
  • Flags to indicate genes recently annotated
  • New method of comparing and transferring
    annotations from other genes
  • Additional evidence fields (Pfam and UniProt)

16
Lessons Learned
  • Users are different!
  • Manual checking vs automatic annotation
  • Homology vs. phylogeny vs. experimental data
  • More evidence
  • Open question does voting work?
