David introduces GO. David's slide presentation.[]

Duncan - Nephrogenesis is not an exact synonym of kidney development David - it can either be a new term itself or a narrow synonym of kidney development or both. So searching for nephrogenesis will bring back 'nephron development' and 'kidney development'

Kidney field development David - we could follow the pattern of heart field development

Susan - Flies don't have kidneys, might not be wise to call malpighian tubule a synonym of kidney.

Adrian - How is GO defining a kidney David - In the definition, urine doesn't fit for a lot of organisms, Adrian - "filter the blood and excretes the end products" - doesn't fit malpighian tubule which don't filter Becky - need to get rid of filter part? Randall - filtering part is not very important, kidney regulates homeostasis of the blood Adrian - don't agree with this, in embryonic fish it is critical to get rid of water so filtration is key. Susan - I would prefer a grouping term such as renal/excretory system Adrian - Malpighian tubule is similar to kidney, so should be included. Is ureter part of the kidney? David - no, it will be a separate structure Ad - epithelium of the ureter would be included as part of the kidney - how address this? David - Ureter will be separate, epithelium coming from the kidney is a lineage relationship, lineage is not encoded in GO. epithelial development will be a process but not the origin of it. Adrian - In mammalian, cells in interstitial tubes should be included Duncan - and the vascular network David - we have urogenital system devpt, so malpighian tubules could be part_of this? Then the two different parts of fly malpighian tubule under this Susan - this is too broad, people will search for renal in fly terms. Bernard - blood vessels conduct blood, endothelial cells have receptors detecting flow, growth factors then released - function is intimately linked with the maintenance of the structure, i.e. a recapitulation of the development of the structure. Where will maintenance of the structure be? David - maintenance is not related (always) to development in GO - it is difficult to define in GO, regeneration/remodeling are also in GO and these are intimately tied to development Becky - so we will have a renal system development? David - yes, and we need a definition for it. Emily - so renal will cover both kidney and malpighian tubules? Becky - Yes, but how do the expert define the renal system? Adrian - it will have to be broad - cells and/or organ Randall - maintaining fluid balance is key Bernard - what does fluid balance mean? Volume and composition? Randall - the problem is encompassing all organisms, fish have salt excretory system Adrian - shouldn't include filtration in the renal term Randall - in larger mammals it is the secretion/excretion that maintains balance rather than filtration. Adrian - water is not an excretory product Randall - what about acid/base - does fly system contribute to this Adrian - if we include the fluid balance and also may be important in electrolyte balance Randall - maintains fluid balance and contributes to electrolyte and excretion of waste products and acid/base balance Adrian - and disposal of nitrogenous waste. David - now move kidney development term and what about urinary bladder development, is that under renal system? Randall - some of the functions of the kidney are taken care of by the bladder Adrian - but this is still part of renal system. Should we have in the definition, the production of urine? Randall - fluid balance covers that as some animals don't excrete much urine

Kidney development term discussion; David - definition of an organ is quite broad,s o that is OK in the definition Becky - and/or excretes end products of metabolism Randall - urologist, everything from the kidney down; nephrologist, just the kidney. Adrian - do we want urine in the definition, is there urine in all organisms Becky - in the definition we are only saying it produces urine, not that urinary tract is part of kidney. David - malpighian tubules is not part of the kidney system, that is the renal system Emily - how does def of kidney and renal differ in terms of function Adrian - Will have to make a decision of whether to throw out other organisms David - Susan is saying that flies don't have kidney, so we'll only include vertebrates Emily - Taxon check for kidney development only_in vertebrates Duncan - are we defining the kidney and then attaching the function of the structure to the definition Adrian - I would like to see the addition of the word urine in the kidney definition David - do we still need the 'filtration of blood'? Get rid of the and/or excretes and just have and - as we are only talking about vertebrates. Emily - for taxon checks, is malpighian tubules just in insecta? Susan - yes Becky - is the kidney field the same as kidney anlage David - pretty much Adrian - I don't know enough about spiders, worms etc. as to whether they have kidneys or not Randall - well we wouldn't call them kidneys, so it's OK David - we can have a taxon check for that, it doesn't need to go into the definition David - we can define the kidney very specifically now, and anything that doesn't fit will be put as renal system development
