Project Lead: @lazycipher

Mentor: @yochannah

Welcome to OLS-1! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Life Science program :tada:.


Before Week 1 (Jan 20): Meet your mentor!

Before Week 2 (Jan 27): Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

Before Week 3 (Feb 3): Meet your mentor!

Before Week 4 (Feb 10): Cohort Call (Tooling and roadmapping for Open projects)

Week 5 and more

This issue is here to help you keep track of work as you start Open Life Science program. Please refer to the OLS-1 Syllabus for more detailed weekly notes and assignments past week 4.

I'm working with InterMine under the mentorship of @yochannah to create a tool, InterMine Similarity Finder Tool, which will help open researchers to get a visual graph of interaction between multiple proteins or genes. This tool will facilitate researchers(or anyone who's willing to explore) a UI to interact with the interactions between proteins and genes.

MagicMilly commented 4 years ago

This tool sounds very interesting to me personally because I collaborate with researchers who use plant genomics data, and I have a very limited and shallow understanding of what's going on! I am curious as to who your end users will be for the Similarity Finder Tool. Will it be geared towards geneticists, or will the visual graph help others with less experience in this field gain a better understanding of what's going on with the interactions between proteins or genes? You might consider elaborating on your specific target audience for your vision statement, but I think this tool sounds like it will be very useful! 👍

lazycipher commented 4 years ago

Thank you so much @MagicMilly, I'll tweak the vision statement as per your feedback.

Sounds great! What set of organisms do you plan to cover? And what would be the additional features of your database with respect to the STRING database?

davidviryachen commented 4 years ago

Fantastic idea ! Canonically speaking, genes refer to DNA. Extending your interaction study to protein and RNA interaction might be also a very interesting add-on. 🥇

Hi Project Leads,



This is your project report file:

Please start working on it for the final presentation. We will send more info in the weekly email.



Best,
