Description

For WBPaper00068221, the author finished the submission but entered this comment:

I have a huge dataset of different genes. The current text box crashes when inputting a list of 4000 genes

Looking at the paper, Supplementary Table 1 lists the genes they reported on in this large-scale study.

The genes are listed in Column 1 which is pipe-separated like this:

AC3.3.1|cdna|chromosome:WBcel235:V:10380340:10381826:-1|gene:WBGene00000024.1|gene_biotype:protein_coding|transcript_biotype:protein_coding|gene_symbol:abu-1

We need to discuss how we might go about parsing these entries for inclusion in our gene-paper associations.
