Road Plan for half of 2018 - Read please #21

Open lpantano opened 6 years ago

Hi all,

It will be a little long email, but please take 15 min to go over. It will help to decide how we start spreading the word about this.

The deadline for important modifications to the first version of the format is in 1 week (07/08/2018). Just to be sure we spread the word with the very first usable format.

For that I need all of you to go to the definition and open an issue with anything you think it is important to have and we don't have it. Anything, you would need to have if I want to develop something over this format, in term of query, visualization, re-mapping, anything you would need to know.

As final idea, all people recommend to try to present this as in many place as possible, but I cannot do it alone. So even if it is a slide in a talk, just do it. Having a paper will help. But you still can do this at any time. If you go to a conference and have a poster, as well, mention this to people, so we can create an ecosystem of mirna data analysis tools.

In summary:

Thanks!

I forgot to mention to click on watch on this https://github.com/miRTop/mirGFF3 so you know what is going on when the file is modified, please! and Like it with an star as well :)

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

Did anyone have a chance to go through this, I would love to have your inputs.

Thanks!

mhalushka commented 6 years ago

I think this is a great plan. Please let me know how I can better engage and help out. I might have a trainee who can do some analysis of the Tewari data, if you need help there.

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Thanks @mhalushka , having more people would help. I am trying to get as well a trainee.

I'll wait until have a couple of more comments, and if everybody agrees, work on the draft for the GFF paper, so we have it for August.

Cheers

ThomasDesvignes commented 6 years ago

Hi Lorena, yes, I agree too that this is a great plan. Logo, independent repository to make this format independent of miRTOP, submission to file format databases, all that sounds great to me and seems like efficient new steps towards for a solid global format. Also, having an initial very short publication of the format before doing the more extensive study is likely a good move. This initial publication may attract more people to the group and this may lead to novel ideas which could improve the solid bases we already have. I really like the quote you wrote down from Tracy Teal ("If you want to go fast, go alone; If you want to go far, go together"), I think it summarize very well our situation and our common interest in making things happen as a group. I will try and get more data out soon and comment on the format definition . Please let me know if I can help on this short note you want to write or if I can help in any other way! I will also add a slide about the group in all my miRNA related talk from now on! Cheers,

mlhack commented 6 years ago

Hi all, Lorena, thx for your continuous effort to move this forward. publishing is certainly always a good idea. maybe we can have a teleco next week to discuss the scope of this paper? right now i am not sure if a format only paper would be very short. it might be important to motivate the new format by discussing current methods and formats in order to make clear that this new format is something useful. you are thinking in publishing the conversion/downstream analysis tools separately or together with the tewari analysis? maybe the conversion tool(s) could go with the format paper and the downstream analysis (getting statistics out of the gff format) with the tewari data? Best, Mic

Hi all,

It will be a little long email, but please take 15 min to go over. It will help to decide how we start spreading the word about this.

  • BOSC was great, people got a lot of question and it was accepted with open hands.
  • I got a lot of good ideas to help with the format and get people using it:
    • make a logo, we are having the competition during this week, so we are almost there.
    • create a separated repository with the format only, see here https://github.com/miRTop/mirGFF3
    • submit to EDAM ontology and FAIRsharing, they are database that keep track of formats and databases, (I submitted to both), we are waiting to be reviewed. @BastianFromm https://github.com/BastianFromm maybe you want to submit mirGeneDB to FAIRSharing.org?
    • publish a very small paper with the format only. This actually, I am in favor to do it. We can publish on F1000 https://f1000research.com. It is open and they allow very short papers. The main idea is to have something out soon so we get people aware, without a paper it is more difficult, and the current work with tewari data is great but it will need time. Can you tell me what do you think?

The deadline for important modifications to the first version of the format is in 1 week (07/08/2018). Just to be sure we spread the word with the very first usable format.

For that I need all of you to go to the definition https://github.com/miRTop/mirGFF3/blob/master/definition.md and open an issue with anything you think it is important to have and we don't have it. Anything, you would need to have if I want to develop something over this format, in term of query, visualization, re-mapping, anything you would need to know.

As final idea, all people recommend to try to present this as in many place as possible, but I cannot do it alone. So even if it is a slide in a talk, just do it. Having a paper will help. But you still can do this at any time. If you go to a conference and have a poster, as well, mention this to people, so we can create an ecosystem of mirna data analysis tools.

In summary:

  • need your thoughts about publishing the format in F1000 (very short paper), leaving the python tool and tewari data for the next publication.
  • need your feedback to make the format useful for everybody.

Thanks!

mhalushka commented 6 years ago

I am happy to jump on a conference call. I'd like to figure out what to assign my trainee to work on.

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Thanks Thomas for chiming in.

Thanks Michael for the input.

I proposed to leave the tool and tewari data for a future paper because the tool needs a lot of work if you want to have all the most important features added. For instance, querying the file is not implemented yet.

I think as well that working on the format for a publication will produce some changes for the better and that will affect the tool.

So my current plan is to publish the format, and we can make it long but then I need more contribution for that because I won’t be able to come with all the perspective. I think it would be great to have a good discussion for the paper, if everybody is on board. As well, there is actually no a wide used format, so that makes easier to promote the work we are doing.

If this plan goes ahead, I think mentioning that there is an open community developing the tool can bring more collaborators and make the tool better for the publication with the tewari data, plus we’d use the data to make the point the tool helps integrating big amount of samples and tools.

Here it is the doodle to try to make a conference call:

Thanks all for ur feedback!

lpantano commented 6 years ago

sorry, I added times to the pool. Remember, ET time. Thanks

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Thanks for choosing your time:

I'll set up the meeting for Thursday 19, from 9-11am ET zone time. Some of you can at 9 and others at 10, so I'll be the two hours there and I can update Thomas who can only at 10am (sorry Thomas I totally forgot you are 3h behind me :( , we can meet even later that day if that is ok). I will send minutes at the end with the plan that we hopefully can agree on.

I'll send invitation on Monday!

Thanks!

Minutes:

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

just to follow up with specific plan:

I set up a biweekly meeting to talk about the tewari data, everybody who can join is welcome. I know at the beginning it would be difficult to have a lot of people but if at some point you get use to have this day and time lock up, I hope it works. Here is the calendar of the miRTop project

You can add the meeting event using this link

The event will be every two weeks, every Thursday at 10am ET. I'll send a reminder one day before.

As a final item, I'll start the definition format paper and share a google docs with you all. I'll try to setup some deadlines that will be contained in the document itself.

Thanks all for keep pushing!

Hi all,

It would be good to get as many of you as possible for tomorrow meeting. We have spotted an important results that would need a good discussion to know how to move forward.

As well, I will share the draft for the mirtop format paper so you can contribute and make modifications. The idea is to submit to F1000 at the end of October.

I hope some of you can make it.

Cheers

Hi Bastian,

Sorry about having a bad time. Maybe next time is possible for you to join. We are having that time so people from the other coast can join.

I have updated the minutes here:

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Sorry, I sent it by mistake before was ready.

The minutes are here:

https://github.com/miRTop/incubator/blob/master/projects/tewari/minutes.md#09-20-2018

I played more with the data and I think we see something now that may make sense. Botton line is that filtering the data to look at the miRNAs where the reference is the top expressed, the majority of isomiRs happen to be with an abundance lower than 20% of the total miRNA. More in the link you'll see inside the minutes.

You can see there the next steps.

@mhalushka is ok if I share with you the raw data and you analyze it with miRGe?

Next meeting is on October 4th, at 10 am Boston time. (https://zoom.us/j/553765969)

See you there!

mhalushka commented 6 years ago

@lpantano. Yes. I'm happy to run the data through miRge.

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

these are the minutes: https://github.com/miRTop/incubator/blob/master/projects/tewari/minutes.md#10-04-2018

@mhalushka , we came up with some questions for the authors. Do you think you can try to contact them? happy to clarify over email.

Next meeting is on October 18th, at 10 am Boston time. (https://zoom.us/j/553765969)

cheers

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

We discussed today mainly about the paper. There are the followed comments that we want to normalize and if no body has a strong opinion we'll go ahead with that:

cheers

ThomasDesvignes commented 6 years ago

Hi all, sorry to the late reply.

This totally makes sense to me. It just depends on where the focus is put and seems just like a convention to decide upon. It's just two ways to look at an isomiR and it could be the opposite if we focus more on isomiR sequence itself and its the length (a isomiR with 1 extra nucleotide would be "+1" because it's one longer) vs the start of the alignment (a isomiR with 1 extra nucleotide would be "-1" because its starts one nucleotide earlier).

And I think whichever system is chosen, the important thing is to be very clear in the definition. As far as I know there is not really anything similar for protein coding genes and mRNA transcript isoform are referred to as "delta exon X" or things like that, but there's no real consensus I'm aware of. For myself, I'm totally fine with this convention or the other, as far as we define it without ambiguity.

Cheers, Thomas

mhalushka commented 6 years ago

Just for clarity (and I apologize if this was already covered), but for the ref miRNA start position, is this the alignment in miRBase or miRGeneDB? I think there may be a very rare miRNA that differs between the two sites and I don't recall if that is settled or not. It may be that all of the differences between miRBase and miRGeneDB are on the 3' end. I think @BastianFromm may be able to clarify that second point.

BastianFromm commented 6 years ago

Hi!

Interesting discussion.

I really think Marc's point is very important here regardless of what is included as microRNA. But do we even agree that a microRNA has to have a reference annotation somewhere?

If so it would have to be either miRBase or MirGeneDB and from what we did as a comparison for the Annual Reviews and for the new paper, I know that it is unfortunately not only 3p ends but also 5p ends, simply incorrect coordinates (despite correct sequence annotations) f and completely missing arm annotations.

From the Annual Reviews:

"The third and final key distinction between miRBase and MirGeneDB is that not only are all mature and star sequences carefully curated, they are also remapped to the latest genome assemblies. When the Gene Expression Omnibus data (10 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4743252/#R10) provided by miRBase for these entries (Figure 3a https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4743252/figure/F3/?report=objectonly) are compared with current genome coordinates (miRBase 21; GRCh38), we find that 69.5% of the annotated reads [should be arms] from the 523 accepted human miRNA precursors (Supplemental Table 1 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4743252/#SD1) have missing or incorrect annotations (Supplemental Table 6 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4743252/#SD1). Specifically, 105 expressed sequences (10%) lack annotation all together; 214 (20.5%) have correct sequences but incorrect genome coordinates (e.g., Let-7-P1, Supplemental Table 6 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4743252/#SD1); and 406 (39%) have genome coordinates whose length and/or start position differs between 1 and 8 nucleotides from the updated annotation (Supplemental Table 6 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4743252/#SD1). Indeed, of these 406 sequences, 115 are offset at the 5′ end with respect to the miRBase entries."

And this is much worse of course in other organisms.

Best, Bastian

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

thanks for the comments, very helpful. I would then update the definition to be consistent with @phillipeloher proposal.

I agree that each database would have its reference, and mirgenedb is trying to improve this, but I am very grateful for all that work. For this same reason, I think the idea is to have the file format be database dependent, what can facilitate for instance to translate mirbase to mirgenedb easily. Or in case people are working with some new species, they can still use the format.

Hopefully, this is a tool that can show even more the issues of some databases, and find a consensus in the future.

Thanks!

phillipeloher commented 6 years ago

Great feedback, we'll work on updating the definitions today and tomorrow.

lpantano commented 6 years ago

Hi,
