Plans

• Xiaodi: An account of the developments on the new server thus far; then, furthermore a proposal, request, and random thought for the class, basically outlining what I plan to work on over the next week or so
• Tiff:
  • Organize the wiki by:
    • Code
    • Purpose
    • Date
  • Look into click-thrus/liability disclaimers on medical sites we're planning to use
• Resmi: Update of what I have done so far and plan to do this coming week. Also, I find this project very interesting and would love to contribute to continue to contribute to this project. So, please let me know what else I can help with!
• Cynthia: Working code for getting mesh terms from PMIDs (modify/fix Resmi's)! Rs#->pubmed articles->mesh terms(->prevalence)
• Zach: Compile code I have written / generalize my BLAST script from earlier / help with other tasks
• Chris: Revise XML parse to yield a dict class, not a list. Write my half of the false-positive code. Document the rest of my code for Katie. Try to figure out how we could apply quality control to hits identified by Zach's code
• Deniz: Sharpen the mapping between terms through pubmed and condition/disease, and integrate the news/feed scripts.
• Hetmann: Work with eMedicine.
