Obsoletion request: organomercury terms #700

Closed pgaudet closed 3 weeks ago

pgaudet commented 4 months ago

Dear all,

The proposal has been made to obsolete the following terms:

GO:0015548 organomercurial transmembrane transporter activity > 0 annotations; paper describes neutral amino acid transporter GO:0015897 organomercurial transport > same paper as above GO:0018941 organomercury metabolic process GO:0042191 methylmercury metabolic process GO:0046414 organomercury biosynthetic process GO:0046413 organomercury catabolic process GO:0046412 phenylmercury acetate metabolic process GO:0018942 organometal metabolic process GO:0018943 organotin metabolic process

The reason for obsoletion is that there is no evidence that these processes are physiologically relevant. There are no annotations to these terms; these terms are not present in any subsets.

Thanks, Pascale
