Add ability to auto-populate evidence for a model based on existing gene-associations #253

Open cmungall opened 8 years ago

From @ValWood

Scenario: user has created a model and not added any evidence, or evidence is incomplete. Example: a cloned model from another species with orthologs switched or a quickly knocked together model.

Add ability to auto-populate evidence based on associations in golr.

This...actually wouldn't be too hard, I think. It would iterate and just pull things in for edges given a few constraints from the user. Possibly not-too-hard as a quick workbench prototype.

Any thoughts on where this issue stands on the priority list? I'm increasingly finding that there is existing evidence for models that I'm constructing and I'd like to be able to auto-populate this wherever possible as it would save a lot of work. Thx.

AFAIK, this is not particularly high--just sort of lumped in with a lot of other features. However, it has a likelihood of getting processed faster as it looks to be a variation on other types of workbenches. #260 is currently blocking work in this direction.

@vanaukenk @ValWood As I'm digging around in the internals again, this kind of tabular interface working with AmiGO in a workbench would be a great example of what a tabular framework should be able to do #399 .
