Major Projects

Transition to OWL

TermGenie templates

Between Jan 2014 and Mar 2014 we have added x new templates to our template-based term addition tool, TermGenie. These are:

These templates utilise both classes within GO and classes from external ontologies, shown in parentheses. PO = plant ontology, CL = cell ontology, CHEBI = chemicals of biological interest ontology.

Mappings to other ontologies

To take further advantage of the reasoning capabilities of OWL and to integrate the expertise of distributed resources, we have continued to work with developers from other groups to cross-reference GO terms with external ontologies.

Mapping Chemicals in GO to ChEBI

This work is fully described in PMID:23895341

Mapping Reactions in GO to Rhea

Improved Biological Representation

Signaling
Apoptosis
Viral work

We are now reaching the end of the ontology changes for the viral processes and cellular components in GO. This work has affected 334 biological process terms and 67 cellular component terms. We are drafting a paper to be submitted to BMC Microbiology.

Metabolic Pathways (Glycolysis)
