The Genome Informatics group and GMOD will be submitting an application for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) this year, and we are soliciting project ideas from people and groups involved in the GMOD project.

GSoC is a global program run by Google to encourage students to get real-world experience of participating in a software project; students work on a project over the summer months and receive a stipend from Google for participating. Thousands of organizations of many different sizes take part in GSoC, with the common factor being that they must produce open-source code.

Please take a look at the GSoC wiki page and think about any projects that might work well for a GSoC student, and add them to the wiki. If you are interested in being a mentor, please contact us at robin.haw@oicr.on.ca help@gmod.org.

If you have any questions--e.g. what constitutes an appropriate project; whether your idea is sufficiently GMOD-related--please feel free to email robin.haw@oicr.on.ca and help@gmod.org for advice!

[https://graphql.org/ GraphQL], a new web API specification, provides programmatic access users a powerful way to retrieve our data. However, a single monolithic GraphQL service will be difficult for us to manage due to heterogeneous data types and geographically distributed teams. We would like to allow different teams (each organized around a knowledge domain) to independently develop and deploy GraphQL services, and combine them into a single GraphQL schema and API endpoint that can be queried easily cross-domain.

The tasks to create an identifier and to lookup information associated with it (such as its common name and metadata) is handled by a tool, called the Name Service. The performance of the Name Service is currently hindered by the slowness of the autocompletion, which is performed directly on the database that is not optimized for this type of query.

Microbiologist and fullstack developer, my field of research evolves around knowledge representation and data mining applied to bioinformatics and health informatics.
I got a master degree in biotechnology and a bachelor degree in computer science mainly because the bioinformatic major was not open yet at the time. So I decided to mix in my love of biology with my programming skills through a PhD in Genomics and Bioinformatics.
To brush up my skills, I got a year-long experience in a tech company as a fullstack developer in JavaScript and get the good practices for application industry standards.
I like sharing and collaborating with passionate people like myself about various subjects : art, math, physics, biology and obviously computer science. Scott

== Automated Bioinformatics Help in Galaxy ==

*''Brief explanation:''
** [https://galaxyproject.org/ Galaxy] users often encounter errors when trying to run a bioinformatics analysis. These errors may be user or data errors (e.g. misformatted dataset) or errors due to underlying computing hardware (e.g. disk is full). Helping users and Galaxy support staff determine the kind of error they encountered would be useful because a user can likely address the first type of error, while the second type requires expert invention.
** This project will improve Galaxy’s error system by using heuristics or machine learning to identify common types of user/data errors and make suggestions on likely causes of the error and how they might be fixed. This will benefit Galaxy users with clear and actionable error messages and support staff by reducing the amount of reported, non-system errors.
* ''Expected results:''
** Create a tool for analyzing, identifying, and classifying common error messages from the extensive history of error messages from the main public Galaxy server (https://usegalaxy.org).
*** The diversity and size of this data suggests a machine learning approach, but the specific approach taken would be decided by the student and mentor.
** Extend Galaxy’s tool definition syntax to support defining common error classes and suggested resolutions.
** Update Galaxy’s user interface to display potential resolutions and suggested actions based on the types of errors found in an analysis.

== Use Galaxy to run Reactome analysis and processes on genomic data (Reactome) ==

**''Brief explanation:'' Reactome is a free, open-source, curated and peer-reviewed pathway database. Our goal is to provide intuitive bioinformatics tools for the visualization, interpretation and analysis of pathway knowledge to support basic research, genome analysis, modelling, systems biology and education. Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for data intensive biomedical research, which allows users to perform, reproduce, and share complete analyses.
**''Expected results:'' There are two potential sub-projects. 1) Adding Reactome as a data resource in Galaxy, to enable Galaxy users to use Reactome reaction and pathway annotation data, and 2) Performing identifier mapping and over-representation analysis workflows from Reactome in Galaxy. Reactome [https://github.com/reactome/ Github].

**''Skill level:'' Medium.
**''Mentors:'' Robin Haw (robin.haw[AT]oicr.on.ca) and Joel Weiser (joel.weiser[AT]oicr.on.ca).

== Create a software package for use in R to query Reactome’s Graph Database in Neo4J ==

*'''Project Idea Name (Project Name/Lab Name)'''
**''Brief explanation:'' The R programming language has an [https://neo4j.com/developer/r/ existing package] for connection to Neo4J databases. This project’s purpose would be to use this package as a base to create a connection for querying Reactome’s Neo4J [https://www.reactome.org/dev/graph-database graph database] and return data structures for manipulating Reactome pathway and reaction data..
**''Expected results:''Allow R end-users to be able to retrieve Reactome pathway and reaction data for analysis by both pre-written functions and custom queries. Examples of categories for such functions may include pathways and reactions which contain certain genes, proteins, Gene Ontology terms or cross-references to other external databases as well as other useful queries for Reactome end-users.
