April 21, 2016 Conference Call

Tech team

Greg: Getting into the Thinking Sphinx code.

Greg: Instrumentation is on the table, but hasn’t done it yet because he has figured out the slowdown with instrumenting the system.

Seth: Looking into using ElasticSearch as a replacement for Thinking Sphinx

Design Team

Zan: A summary of what the design got out of the on-site meeting yesterday

  • CSV-driving flat file for data portability so that data download would be much easier
  • Expand and collapse of columns and rows no Genome Summary

Brian emphasized:

  • Combining List with Genome Summary
  • Genome Summary centric with speed and flexibility
  • Facetted search

Zan: Needs to go back to the Statement of Work to reflect priorities.

Kai: Thinking about the data schema from a flat file perspective. What capabilities can we get from flat files?

Greg: How is the download done?

  • Brian: Not on the fly, but on demand of download by users.

ACTION: Brian needs to get dataset to Kai. One row per feature with all its annotations with redundancy okay.

ACTION: Brian sends them genome summary used in papers. Brian will follow up with the Banfield group.
