EMBOSS: Project Meeting (Mon 12th May 08) |
Alan has added an EMBASSY package wrapping iprscan with 12 applications including an HMM scan of Pfam called fprintscan. We can now drop pscan from EMBOSS as it is out of date. The package also includes wrappers to signalp and tmhmm with a very limited subset of options.
Alan has added signalp and tmhmm to EMBASSY. Note that these applications are not completely open. Academics can download the original executables, but commercial users need to apply for a licence. The DTU website in Denmark has other applications for antigenic sites and other motifs which could be wrapped in a new EMBASSY package.
A user reported problems with Jemboss installation. They were corrected by following the recommended install procedures.
When reporting the version number, Jemboss should show the version of the server.
Mahmut has worked through the first half of the Jemboss feature requests. Most related to graphics data and sequence list concepts.
Mahmut has corrected javascript validation for minimum and maximum values on the Spinet web interface. The changes will be checked with Martin later this week.
Shaun has a parser which now handles basic ACD files including SoapLab's custom XML. The eclipse toolkit provides an extension point that can be used for scripting EMBOSS applications.
Peter and Alan will present EMBOSS for an EBI internal review on 6th June in preparation for the next round of funding proposals.
Peter has almost completed reading through the draft administrator's guide and will return it to Jon later this week.
Jon has received the draft of the wEMBOSS chapter and requested some more text and additional screenshots.
Jon has updated the application descriptions and is working through the algorithm documentation.
Peter has submitted an abstract to BOSC and a poster to ISMB in Toronto. The conferences start just after the 6.0.0 release.
May 26th is a public holiday. The next meeting is on Monday 9th June.
