How to Curate a Gene Page: Difference between revisions - Compendium of Cancer Genome Aberrations

Line 9:

Thank you for volunteering to help curate the Compendium of Cancer Genome Aberrations (CCGA)! Your help will make this resource a valuable tool for users of the CCGA, including researchers, clinicians and others. This short, written description will help you get started and should serve as a collection of best practices and content style as you curate.

The logic for CCGA pages is that there is basic Gene and Protein (and mutation) molecular biology-type information on the “Gene Pages”, and that there is ~~Disease~~ and clinical-type information type on “Disease Pages”. The CCGA is ~~especially~~ interested in the curation ~~fusion~~ of genes/mutations that arise in cancer. However, the dividing line between "Gene/Protein/Mutation" information and "Disease" information is sometimes hard to determine (For example, in the case of describing fusion gene's value in diagnostic or prognostic tests in a specific disease). Basically, this type of "~~cross over~~" Molecular Disease information can be included IN ABBREVIATED form on the GENE pages and will be addressed more fully on the DISEASE pages. These guidelines will help you determine what information goes where. Please note that you should plan to spend between 4-8 hours in curating the information ~~onto~~ a single gene page, and more if you are unfamiliar with the gene.

Your curation of the gene and protein information will be aided ~~and edited~~ and reviewed by an ~~“EDITOR”. Your~~ assigned Editor ~~will be your go-to person to help you curate and review your curated information after you are done curating~~. Please note that this written document ~~and the curation tutorial~~ cannot cover all the questions and decisions your will be faced with as you curate. Therefore, PLEASE feel free to contact your ~~editor~~ with any questions~~. You will need to contact your assigned editor to get “write” permissions to the CCGA so that you can create~~ and ~~edit pages in the Wiki.~~

Therefore, PLEASE feel free to contact your Associated Editor with any questions and upon completion of a page.

~~==Wiki Pages:==~~

~~The CCGA web site is based on wiki pages and can be accessed here : http://www.ccga.io/index.php/Main_Page. please ask your editor for write premissions.~~
