Generalize to MOLO

[cmungall]

Going back to some old notes

In a meeting in 2014 with @000generic and David Linberg we decided to generalize CEPH into MOLO:

Not sure when anyone would have time to do this, but recording this here so we have a record

Hi Chris @cmungall

looking at some interesting datasets,
https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?study=SRP278619
and the related paper
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33125889/

, I am wondering what are news for CEPH and/or MOLO ontologies?
Also currently some classes like this one in Uberon sounds weird:

[Term]
id: CEPH:0000002
name: cephalopod eye
is_a: UBERON:0000970 ! eye

Can you tell me who to contact about that? Thank you in advance.
Cheers,

Anne

hello, (@cmungall ?)

I am revisiting this work and wanted to ask if there are any updates on the MOLO ontology, where to find this ontology actually?

I am currently annotating bivalve tissues for Bgee and the only class available for annotating the bivalve foot is the cephalopod class CEPH:0000169 (molluscan foot). While the description does mention molluscan, this ontology is anyway cephalopod dedicated.

And for example, I cannot find a term for the byssus — is there a recommended alternative, or is this planned to be added? into the MOLO ontology? that will be integrated into UBERON?

Many thanks,

Anne

Alas I have no time to coordinate any of this. Adding individual mollusc terms to uberon should not be hard but might requiring resuscitating ceph so things join up

I think the best approach would be to assign an agent the task of adding ceph terms to uberon generalizing as it goes but I can't help coordinate this task
