"disruption" terms #18692

Closed ValWood closed 4 years ago

ValWood commented 4 years ago

In most of these terms, the word "disruption" is used in lots of different contexts

1.

GO:0044004 disruption by symbiont of host cell Definition (GO:0044004 GONUTS page) Any process in which an organism has a negative effect on the functioning of the host's cells. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.

2.

3.

4. GO:0044661 disruption by virus of host cell has a lot of annotations but some of the children look dubious

I don't understand this one at all what is "negative effect on the functioning of a host cellular membrane"? 5 annotations CACAO but looking at the paper it should probably merge into

GO:0044659 cytolysis by virus of host cell Definition (GO:0044659 GONUTS page) The killing by a virus of a cell by means of the rupture of cell membranes and the loss of cytoplasm. PMID:26728778

it's another way of saying the same thing

i.e I think most of the high level "disruption terms" can be removed as most of the meaningful terms have alternative sensible parents...
