how to annotate/easier annotation
what do you annotate, quickview, gene, gene product?
does information ever flow from gene or gene-product to quickview (it doesn't look like it)
need a much better way to pick categories, both GO and keyword. it looks pretty haphazard now and new overlapping categories seem to be arising
can the damn boxes be wider?
why do we need two saves for table edit (update and save) isn't one enough?
In the strict sense of the word, we annotate to the Gene Product. On each Product page there is a table for annotations using the GO. In the broad sense of the word, you can annotate anything, anywhere - it is a wiki!
The information previously did not flow from the Gene or Product pages to the Quickview pages. We have since taken your advice and made the Quickview table mirror information from the other two, in addition to providing some user-editable fields.
I agree with the category picking comment. Categorizing pages based on GO term happens automatically, but not by keyword. It is very easy to add a category to a page, you can view the help page here.
I'm not sure what you mean by "damn boxes." The tables? The size of the browser window delimits how wide the tables can be - you can try reducing the font to see if things arrange themselves better.
You need two saves because the table you are editing doesn't get saved when you save a row. If it did, the wiki would create a revision for every row-change, and it would seriously clog the database with revisions. As of now, you edit a copy of the table until you are done editing, and then save it back to the wiki.
I hope this helped clarify some questions. Please feel free to contact me with others.
CGSC Strain list - we now have all the mutant alleles from CGSC in the allele tables, along with links to CGSC.
References- Automatic DOI's for all PMID articles. DOI's are available from PubMed/MEDLINE and hopefully can be automatically imported when the article abstract is imported. Prepending "http://dx.doi.org/" to a DOI gives a URL that takes the user directly to the journal's version of the online article. See, e.g, the Links section of the table on the PMID:17244358 page.
DOI links will be created on all new PMID pages.
