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.
Proposed definition: A stem cell that can give rise to cell types of the germ-line. A stem cell is a relatively undifferentiated cell that retains the ability to divide and proliferate throughout life to provide progenitor cells that can differentiate into specialized cells.
[the other stem cell terms in ZFA are defined as "a stem cell which ...". There is no definition for what a stem cell is. The definition for the stem cell in the proposed definition is the one from CL_0000034)
