Project: Review all cases where cell types have multiple develops_from relatiionships #145

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Assuming develops_from indicates lineage then the following is problematic

cell1  subclassOf develops_from some cell2
cell1  subClassOf develops_from some cell3 

e.g. 
id: CL:0000140
name: odontocyte
relationship: develops_from CL:0000060 ! odontoblast
relationship: develops_from CL:0000134 ! mesenchymal stem cell

unless cell2 subClassOf cell3 OR cell3 SubClassOf cell2 (in which case the 
pattern reflects redundancy and one axioms should be deleted) or cell2 and 
cell3 overlap and all cell1 develop from some cell in that is in a class 
defined by the intersection of cell2 and cell3.  

I suspect that this is rarely the case where this pattern appears in CL.  More 
likely these are attempts at recording some/some relationships.

All such cases should therefore be reviewed.

Would zygote cell be a problem then too? Sometimes cells fuse to create a new 
type. Will develops_from work in such cases?
