Following up on previous discussion points
Ontology Curator Pathway book
Added a link in the GO doc: Ontology_Development#Documentation
InterPro file out of date
See ticket https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/issues/1786 and https://github.com/geneontology/goontology/blob/7e1c1691c31dfc25b4ce6149c016c1c188d98683/src/ontology/Makefile
The file generated by InterPro is more recent: https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/interpro/interpro2go
Actions from last week (but these were possibly incorrect)
- Change the Makefile (in go-ontology/src/ontology/Makefile )
- Check with InterPro for mappings of the databases they represent - are these maintained ? See also: https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/16989
Transport or maintains localization relation

Discussion points
Updating KEGG links
Steven's email
Here’s a link to a spreadsheet showing current associations between KEGG metabolic pathways and GO BP terms (as shown on the KEGG webpages).
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K7Pzmo5wpFmbCA9NdxLlBC2NNA7VNviSSG-1pr2t9T8/edit#gid=0
I recently reviewed all the associations relevant to flies and suggested some corrections/additions to KEGG (which they mostly implemented) but there may be some other cases where a GO term could be added or changed etc.
As mentioned, might be useful to add all these KEGG pathway IDs as xrefs to BP terms within the GO. Looking at go-basic.obo, I only see 3 current xrefs of type “KEGG_PATHWAY:” (and one of them (map00440) looks slightly wrong)
FYI: I contacted them using support@genome.ad.jp and my contact was Atsuko Yano.
Taxon constraints changed at each PR??
Recently there is always a big difference in changed files (specifically reasoned-pr.owl/reasoned.owl), that seem to related to taxon constraints: See for eg https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/pull/22879
I have been ignoring because I dont modify this file; but it would be interesting to know why this happens.
Hormone metabolic process
https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/22899 https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/19624 Obsolete, to only keep the chemical hierarchy for metabolic process?
Next calls
Focus on specific topics?
- taxon constraints
- boomer tickets
- any other suggestion
- relations - review work that needs to be done for 'transports or maintains localization of' as outlined in ticket
Other Business

Points from previous meetings not yet addressed
Next Priorities for Ontology group
- GO-RHEA:
- Finish Boomer tickets
- strategy to create new GO terms
- New taxon constraints
- Review single step BPs + BP refactoring
- Jamboree to close tickets?
- Design patterns: implement new design patterns and enforce usage in the ontology
- Ongoing:
- Multi-org
- transcription
- roles
- aging
- Content meetings?
Following up on previous items
- ChEBI: Chris, Paul: Make a list of requests for ChEBI - including requesting 'developer' versions of ChEBI so we can test it ahead of releases
- Design patterns
- DONE Pascale: document how to deal with 'conforms to dp' during term obsoletion and merge - updated Obsoleting_an_Existing_Ontology_Term and Merging_Ontology_Terms pages
Changing the relation for transport and transporter activity from 'transports or maintains localization of' to 'has input'
- ACTIONS Decision is to use 'has primary input' -> https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/22721
- See ticket for outline of steps needed to implement.
New taxon constraints
Property range violations
- Looks like an issue in GO, where 'cavity development' may be redundant with the equivalent 'tube' terms, or the 'tube terms are missing'?
ACTIONS: Review 'cavity terms
- subarachnoid space development | subarachnoid space
- tube lumen cavitation | tube lumen: https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/22784
- neural rod cavitation | neural tube lumen: https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/22784
- pronephric sinus development | pronephric sinus: see https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/issues/2274
- 'neural rod cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0014024>
- 'tube lumen cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0060605>
- 'salivary gland cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0060662> (no LD, so not causing problems in Jim's PR, but still needs reviewing)
- 'mammary gland duct cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0060604> (no LD, so not causing problems in Jim's PR, but still needs reviewing)
- 'regulation of tube lumen cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_1903132>
- 'secondary neural tube rod cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0014027>
- 'negative regulation of tube lumen cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_1903133>
- 'apoptotic process involved in tube lumen cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0060609>
- 'apoptotic process involved in salivary gland cavitation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0060663>
Sinus terms: Not sure why only 'pronephric sinus development' is causing problems others do have LDs:
Chris: only 'pronephric sinus development' describes a sinus; other describe valves, venosus
- 'sinus venosus development' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0003235>
- 'sinus venosus formation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0003237>
- 'sinus venosus morphogenesis' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0003236>
- 'coronary sinus valve development' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0003178>
- 'coronary sinus valve formation' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0003191>
- 'coronary sinus valve morphogenesis' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0003182>
- 'pronephric sinus development' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0039012>
- 'left horn of sinus venosus development' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0061079>
- 'right horn of sinus venosus development' <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0061080>
Protein-complex organization/assembly/disassembly
Problem with relations used in logical definition https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/22488
RO has been changed, so that the logical issue is fixed; however do we want to use 'results in assembly of' or 'has output' for protein-containing complex assembly? This decision impacts the relations used in GO-CAM and extensions, since we aim to align them.
