Agenda

Retiring gorel relations

(from June 29 call):

  • 'acts on population of' -> added to RO; need to update logical definitions that use this relation (cell population proliferation children and some homeostasis terms)
    • No action needed ?? Pascale to check
  • 'exists during' -> replace with 'existence overlaps' but with a modified definition?
    • X existence overlaps y iff the connected temporal region T1 in which the continuant X exists overlaps the connected temporal region during which y occurs
    • 'exists during' is currently only used in annotation extensions, but 'existence overlaps' could perhaps be used in logical definitions of some CC terms, e.g. mitotic spindle?

Obsoleting the BP 'regulation of molecular activity' branch

  • Those are 'single-step processes', ie molecular functions
  • Would be biologically more accurate NOT to have them
  • Might solve the is_a o regulation transitivity issue ?

ie for example: - ABC transporter activity is_a ATPase --> we dont want to have: regulation of ABC transporter activity is a regulation of ATPase But not having those terms at all would avoid the problem

  • EcoliWiki : 2
  • JCVI : 2
  • SynGO-UCL : 2
  • PAMGO_MGG : 1
  • PAMGO_VMD : 1
  • Discussion
    • Proposal is to move those as GO-CAM as 'causally upstream of or within'
    • Paul: We need to understand the semantics
    • Guidance we can give to curators: use 'has input' and include the substrate
    • Use GP2term relation: x acts upstream of (-/+) or a child some MF has_input [substrate]
    • ACA activity enabled by ACA1 _positively regulates_ PKA activity, has input PKA1
    • Try to stay away from 'BP Regulation of MF activity'
