Capture GFP's use as a protein trigger #37

Open stripathy opened 9 years ago

stripathy commented 9 years ago

{Protein}-GFP is a common way of indicating that a cell expresses a protein, just like {Protein}-Cre.

I propose adding it to the Protein Triggers list.

e.g.

Preferential origin and layer destination of GAD65-GFP cortical interneurons

or.

Vertical Bias in Dendritic Trees of Non-pyramidal Neocortical Neurons Expressing GAD67–GFP In Vitro

To implement this, I think all you need to do is the following: change line 70 of the .ruta file

DECLARE ProteinTrigger;
"(?i)(contain|secret|releas|bind|synthesiz|express|contain)ing|\\+|principal|immuno(nega|posi|reac)tive|(reac|posi)tive|immunoreactivity|
reactive|labeled|stained|[Cc]re" -> ProteinTrigger;

to:

DECLARE ProteinTrigger;
"(?i)(contain|secret|releas|bind|synthesiz|express|contain)ing|\\+|principal|immuno(nega|posi|reac)tive|(reac|posi)tive|immunoreactivity|
reactive|labeled|stained|[Cc]re|[GYR]FP" -> ProteinTrigger;

it's [GYR]FP since YFP and RFP are common variants of GFP.
