Ontology describing the anatomy of Danio rerio from a single cell to adult fish. The namespace of the ontology is zebrafish_anatomical_ontology the prefix is ZFA. Updates to ZFA are released every other month. A subset of the ZFS http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/zfs.obo is packaged with this ontology.
this term should get the synonym: neural progenitor
definition (based on CL reference): An embryonic cell that develops into a nerve cell or neuron.
review of the ontology is needed: during development, neurons originate from neuroectoderm and neural crest cells. However, “neuroblast” is currently in the ontology as: is_a_type_of “neuronal stem cell (ZFA:0009019)
The ontology should be reviewed to reflect that “neuroblast” is not only related to “neuronal stem cell”, and originate from the neuroectoderm and neural crest cells.
Following discussion with Yvonne:
