Less dicing, more faceting #1345

Open jmcmurry opened 8 years ago

jmcmurry commented 8 years ago

We have a lot of data in the system, but the way it is displayed makes it hard to see the bigger picture. I don't have a grand vision for how this would look, but I would love to see us do less dicing up the data ourselves (pages/tabs) and more empowering the user to do it for themselves through facets.

1) Uber genes

The way that the data is currently displayed, it is difficult to get a meta view of everything a gene does in various species; each page is always a species-specific vantage point with at best, homolog phenotypes. I would like to revive the idea of uber gene pages that are species-agnostic, covering endogenous and transgene relationships including transgene phenotyeps, homolog phenotypes etc.

2) Diseases by orthology / phenotype matching

Asserted gene-disease associations versus owlsim gene-disease associations by profile similarity. For any given asserted gene-disease relationship, it would be nice to know what the phenotype overlap is.

OK, but let's do the uber-gene thing properly, using ancestral nodes from panther. We'll loop @kltm in after next week.

I'm finally resolved that I really want uber gene pages

@selewis how is the panther scrape pipeline coming along?
