Re: [GMOD-devel] Implementing GMOD Restful API in Tripal

Just thought I should say that our development efforts have taken a back seat to the work on the current InterMine release, but we plan to have a working implementation for the GMOD meeting in April. Alex -------- Original message -------- Subject: Re: [GMOD-devel] Implementing GMOD Restful API in Tripal From: Lacey-Anne Sanderson <Lac...@sh...> To: Josh Goodman <jog...@in...> CC: gmo...@li... Hi Josh, I think for the Tripal implementation, I'm not going to limit the full text search and location services to gene. Our website doesn't currently have any gene models due to the species being orphan legume crops (Pea, Lentil, Chickpea, Bean) which don't yet have these resources and if the gene limit is enforced this service wouldn't be useful to us. Since the Tripal module won't use the API directly but rather expose the results in the same format, I don't think this should be a problem. What are your thoughts? Also, I have been in contact with the Legume Information System (LIS) and Soybase about using this API for cross-communication between all legume informatic websites. We have a need to export data in addition to sequences including QTL, genetic map, genotypic and phenotypic data. What do you think of expanding the current API with our help to include some/all of these type of data in version 1.2? I would be willing to spearhead determining what the URLs and returned results should look like. ~Lacey ------------------------------------------------------ Lacey-Anne Sanderson Bioinformaticist Pulse Crop Breeding and Genetics Phone: (306) 966-2430 Email: lac...@sh...

Alex Kalderimis (InterMine) and I had a flurry of activity after GMOD last year, but that has died off as the holidays kicked in. Alex did quite a bit of nice work refractoring code and you are free to take a look at https://github.com/GMOD/GMOD-RPC-perl/tree/templateless. I've been meaning to get back to this, but I haven't quite cleared my TODO list enough. I'd say that the API is stable enough for you to start drafting something. I don't know how close other MODs are but I've set a goal for having this deployed at FlyBase by this summer. The full text search service is currently limited to only features of type gene (SO:0000704). The type field is there to allow for adding additional features in the future. The same goes for location. Yes, the type indicates the type of feature to return. I think the proper place for a taxid on an organism would be a link to dbxref in organism_dbxref. Your orthology implementation seems reasonable.

I need some clarification: GMOD RPC Questions: - When you say "Gene Full text Search" is this a full text searching of all records in the chado feature table or are you restricting it to those of type gene? - When you refer to type (Gene Full Text Search), I assume you mean feature.type_id exclusively? - In Gene Location, does the type refer to the type of features located on that chromosome to return Chado Storage Questions: - Where in chado is the taxid normally stored? is this an organismprop? - Are gene orthologs normally stored in chado using feature_relationship with a cvterm of orthologous (SO:0000858)? I know some of these questions might seem like I think I know the answer but I don't want to assume anything or we might end up with a non-standard implementation. Thanks in advance for the help! ~Lacey PS. My implementation is at http://knowpulse2.usask.ca/devel/ if anyone wants to go look at examples. Currently I only have organisms (http://knowpulse2.usask.ca/devel/gmodrpc/v1.1/organisms) done. ------------------------------------------------------ Lacey-Anne Sanderson Bioinformaticist Pulse Crop Breeding and Genetics Phone: (306) 966-2430 Email: lac...@sh...

The idea is that you can enable a Tripal module and any public data available through your website (stored in chado) is made available at http://yourtripalsite/gmodrpc/v<api version>... as described by the API. I'm wondering if the API described at http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_REST_API is in a stable enough state for me to start coding this module? Also, how close are the other versions to being ready for deployment on non-Tripal MODs? My Design Plans: Stage 1: Use the Drupal menu system to manage generating the URLs and the Tripal Chado API to supply the data for those pages. Stage 2: Implement dynamically generated Tripal pages (organism/feature) based on data pulled from other MODs using the GMOD Restful API. This will allow Tripal sites to display data from other MODs in a seamless manner (Of course these pages will give credit and link to the MODs storing the data). An administration page will allow you to configure which MOD's you want to query -full web-address specification or selecting options from a form.
