Wow! That's pretty cool work! Do you have any plans to keep the data fresh?

Would you be willing to write a blog post about what you did, your plans for the future and why this is awesome? Jens can work with you on getting that published on our blog. We ran a few lately and your project sounds like it should get a bit ore exposure ;-) http://blog.wikimedia.de/tag/wikidata/ Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

This is awesome! I'd love to have all SNPs on as well, and I started a discussion about this on Wikiproject MB: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Molecular_biology#L… I think this would be amazing, because single nucleotide polymorphisms relate the genes to human diseases and traits, which are currently both on Wikidata. So for instance, we now have the gene https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18028243 which encodes the protein product https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1738190, and we have the SNP https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18341737 IN that gene, which is implicated in the disease https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5712506. This way we can get a fuller picture from wikidata how changes in genes and gene products are related to the traits and diseases on wikidata. There are some things I'm really not sure how to handle however- each SNP is a *location*, and in a diploid organism, each location has two values, each of 4 different options (AGTC) and then each combination of values may result in the same protein or a different one. So in the case of the Kell antigen system, the rs8176058 location can be either A or G. A nucleotide of A in this location codes for the 'K' antigen or protein, and G encodes the 'k' antigen. This presents difficulties with representing the information in a single "table" because common variations AT the location have information that needs to be grouped together. In this case, it's simply the presence of an A or G that determines the gene product, but of course this gets more complicated, where we might not know strictly the "value" of A or G individually but may only have "values" for each genotype (AG, AA, or GG) that may need to be represented. And these genotypes might not always point to a specific gene product, but may instead point to a qualitative trait "increased risk of glaucoma" or a quantitative trait "vision was .2 diopters greater on average". The two options are: create a separate WD item for each "option"- i.e. "rs8176058-A" to contain information about variation A at location rs8176058 (or, in the case when information is known about the genotype, "AG genotype on rs8176058") OR allow each option "A" or "AG" to be annotated with various fields. The complication is that each annotation may be needed to be annotated itself (and I don't think that's possible on WD) if we have multiple pieces of quantitative information associated with one genotype. Hard to say. To see how this data is represented in table form elsewhere, you can browse the GWAS catalog: http://www.genome.gov/page.cfm?pageid=26525384&clearquery=1#result_table Importing that might be a good start. There it looks something like this: Risk allele: rs1230666-A Effect: .0269 [0.014-0.039] unit increase Implicated in: Serum thyroid peroxidase antibody levels p-value: 2 x 10-8 reference: Medici M February 27, 2014 PLoS Genet Identification of novel genetic Loci associated with thyroid peroxidase antibodies and clinical thyroid disease.
