  1. Managing Big Scientific Data Capturing, Integrating and Presenting Mouse Data at MGI Cynthia Smith Canberra April 2010 Mouse Genome Informatics www.informatics.jax.org

  2. Achondroplasia Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) program goal…to facilitate the use of the mouse as a model for heritable human diseases and normal human biology. Homozygous achondroplasia mouse mutant and control • short domed skull • short-limbed dwarfism • malocclusion • bulging abdomen as adults • respiratory problems • shorted lifespan

  3. …to accomplish MGI’s mission, we provide integrated access to the genetics, genomics, and biology of the laboratory mouse. natural variation expression strain geneaology Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome genome location sequence tumors orthologies gene function Information content spans from sequence to phenotype/disease

  4. MGI Data Content, a few numbers …plus strains, expression and phenotype images, tumor records, etc.

  5. Integration in MGI • Identify objects. • Resolve discrepancies. Integration is key to knowledge discovery

  6. Integration is hard…not just a matter of combining data sources… • Data from multiple sources can be of differing quality • The same data can enter the system via various paths • Naming conventions may or may not be to standards • Some data sources don’t maintain unique accession numbers (or allow them to change) • Periodic updates from data sources can cause problems • if objects have disappeared… (or reappear) • If objects have split in two

  7. Annotation Pipeline Literature & Loads New Gene, Strain or Sequence? • Data Acquisition • Object Identity • Standardizations • Data Associations • Integration with other bioinformatics resources Controlled Vocabularies Evidence & Citation Co-curation of shared objects and concepts

  8. Data integration is hard • “Bucketizing” establishe types of correspondence between objects in the input sets. • Allows immediate incorporation of 1:1 corresponding data. • Sorts conflicting data into bins that allow prioritization for curator resolution.

  9. VEGA annotated three distinct genes instead of multiple transcripts for a single gene (Mvk) chr5:114705285-114721583

  10. Why resolve and integrate data? 1. Allows you to find all the data: Example: I want all the sequences from GenBank that are from C57BL/6 There are >100 different versions of this strain name in GenBank files, e.g. B6 BL/6 C57BL76J 57BL/6J Black-6 JB6 C57Black/6 black six …..ETC… Example:You find several papers describing different phenotypes of knockouts of the Fgfr2 gene. The knockout alleles are just called Fgfr2-/-.Help! There are 14 different targeted alleles of Fgfr2 (knockout/knockin, each has a unique symbol and MGI-ID, different phenotype annotations, and are models of different human diseases). All are associated with their respective references. MGI has curated these data. You can ask these questions!

  11. Why resolve and integrate data? 2. Allows you to discriminate ambiguous data Example: I want information for mouse gene Tap Which gene? There are 5 genes published as Tap. Each of these genes has Tap as a synonym. Chr 15 Ly6a , lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus A Chr 19 Nxf1, nuclear RNA export factor 1 homolog (S. cerevisiae) Chr 11   Sec14l2, SEC14-like 2 (S. cerevisiae) Chr 17 Tap1, transporter 1, ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP) Chr 5   Uso1, USO1 homolog, vesicle docking protein (yeast) P.S. Gene Gnas has 20 synonyms

  12. Why resolve and integrate data? 3. In addition to object identification issues, integration allows you ask complex questions that span data sets and data types from different sources: Example: What genes on Chromosome 11 have mutant alleles that display phenotypes of hydrocephaly and hypertension? Example: Provide me with a list of Refseq IDs where the gene corresponding to the sequences show expression in embryos at 13.5-15 days and are involved in the biological process (GO) of apoptosis.

  13. Integration requires consistent semantics Controlled vocabularies/nomenclatures • Strains • Genes • Alleles (phenotypic or variant) • Classes of genetic markers • Types of mutations • Types of assays • Developmental stages • Tissues • Clone libraries • ES cell lines ….. organized as lists or simple hierarchies

  14. Assay Type Gene nomenclature Strain Age Results Ldb1 (LIM domain binding 1) gene expression in CD-1 mice

  15. DAGs Semantics plus relationship data Ontologies/structured vocabularies • Gene Ontology (GO) • Molecular function • Biological process • Cellular component • Mouse Anatomy (MA) • Embryonic • Adult • Mammalian Phenotype (MP) • Sequence Ontology (SO) ….. organized as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs)

  16. Mammalian Phenotype Ontology • Structured as DAG • Over 7324 terms covering physiological systems, behavior, development and survival • Available in browser and in OBO file formats from MGI ftp and OBO Foundry sites

  17. GO:0047519 P05147 GO:0047519 IDA PMID:2976880 PMID: 2976880 IDA Annotating Gene Products using GO P05147 Gene Product Reference GO Term Evidence

  18. Gather data from multiple sources • Factor out common objects • Assemble integrated objects Data sources Centers: mutagenesis, gene trap, etc Primary literature Data Loads: GenBank, SNPs, clone collections, UniProt, RIKEN, IKMC,etc Electronic Submissions (individual labs) Processing, QC, and curation

  19. Data sourcing for MGI • Data from major providers (e.g. Ensembl, UniProt) and from data project Centers (e.g. gene trap, ENU mutagenesis centers) are generally reliably formatted, though data may still have QC issues. Occasional changes in format can be frustrating. • Data from individual research labs vary greatly in file formats and adherence to nomenclature & usually are handled on a case-by-case basis. • Scientific literature is a reflection of individual labs (largely), & must be treated as using non-standard nomenclatures – but awareness is improving!

  20. Data sourcing for MGI (…wishes) • more user contributions • pre-publication nomenclature assignments • data submissions • (data can be held private until publication) • journal permissions for images - have some • in progress (collaborations on raw phenotype data exchange with European and Japanese mouse mutagenesis and knockout groups)

  21. Building a mouse phenotyping data resource • Large scale ENU mutagenesis programs worldwide - continuing • Large scale gene trap programs (International Gene Trap Consortium) www.genetrap.org - gene trap cell lines loaded, with Lexicon • International Mouse Knockout Consortium • KOMP – Knockout Mouse Project (USA) www.knockoutmouse.org • EUCOMM – European Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis www.eucomm.org • NorCOMM – North American Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis http://norcomm.phenogenomics.ca • Texas Institute for Genomic Medicine Knockouts www.tigm.org • Collaborative Cross www.complextrait.org • Literature and lab submissions • New recombinase (cre, flp, etc) and reporter database is online and data is being populated

  22. BREADTH: Large scale screen for potential phenotypic outliers DEPTH: Phenotypic description of mutant genotype(s)

  23. SUMMARY Integration in MGI • is accomplished through a combination of automatic & semi-automatic loads & QC processing, followed by manual curation. • requires applying semantic consistency using standard nomenclatures, ontologies and structured vocabularies. • provides users with the ability to find data that would otherwise not be found or ambiguous. • allows complex questions spanning different data sets and data areas to be asked.

  24. SUMMARY Data Sourcing in MGI • includes data from major genome resources and mouse centers, as well as individual lab submissions and curated information from scientific literature. • requires QC processing for format consistency; for some (individual) labs case-by-case assistance. • for new large-scale phenotyping activities, integrate data with common curation of MP ontology; connect with raw data (international collaboration). • continue to work with community and journals to allow easier data access.
