Sequence Motif PWMs #1499

Open riyavsinha opened 2 months ago

riyavsinha commented 2 months ago

Question: While trying to represent a JASPAR motif (e.g. https://jaspar.elixir.no/matrix/MA0080.1/), I found myself unsure of how to do so. I think the NucleicAcidSequenceMotif is intended to represent this, but it doesn't have a has_biological_sequence slot like CodingSequence or AccessibleDNARegion. Additionally, I'm not sure that's sufficient since I would like to represent the PWM of the motif, which is generally a 2D array (supported in LinkML).

Is there a recommended way to do this in BioLink?
