Physical Interaction model changes #31

Closed Paul-Davis closed 8 years ago

Paul-Davis commented 8 years ago

Hello all,

I'd like to propose the addition of subtypes for physical interactions in the ?Interactions model. Right now it's actually non-trivial to extract only protein-protein interactions from the total list of physical interactions, which also include protein-DNA and protein-RNA interactions. I'd like to add subtypes to the physical type in the model as such:

Current model:

?Interaction Interaction_type Physical

Proposed model:

?Interaction Interaction_type Physical Protein_protein
                                       Protein_DNA
                                       Protein_RNA

This would be similar in form to the existing subtypes for genetic and regulatory interactions. This would affect the gene interactions file generated for the FTP site and make it easier to filter out the different physical interaction subtypes.

Please let me know if there are any objections or thoughts.

Chris

Issue with the Protein_RNA tag name as it's already used as a "detection technique" so changing to 

?Interaction Interaction_type Physical Proteinprotein
                                       ProteinDNA
                                       ProteinRNA
