phenotype terms in GO

[gocentral]

Hi Everyone,

We figured out that GO has many different terms containing in part "response" "susceptibility" & "resistance".

I think resistance and(or) susceptibility is a score/attribute of determining the level/kind of "response". The "Response" is biological in origin but the "resistance" / "susceptiblity" are phenotype terms and one needs to avoid using them as function/process terms.

We (Michael, Midori, Lincoln, TAIR and Gramene) had a considerable amount of discussion on this about a year ago. As a result Leonore reframed the then existing phenotypic terms to responses, but somehow the terms with similar attributes have reappeared in GO.

Any suggestions on reframing or getting rid of them!

All the "xxx susceptibility/resistance" and "xxx sensitivity/resistance" terms have now been obsoleted and replaced with "response to xxx" terms.

Terms affected: GO:0009634, heavy metal sensitivity/resistance GO:0016351, drug susceptibility/resistance GO:0016352, insecticide susceptibility/resistance GO:0016353, carbamate susceptibility/resistance GO:0016354, cyclodiene susceptibility/resistance GO:0016355, DDT susceptibility/resistance GO:0016356, organophosphorous susceptibility/resistance GO:0016357, pyrethroid susceptibility/resistance GO:0017139, arsenate sensitivity/resistance GO:0017141, antibiotic susceptibility/resistance GO:0017142, toxin susceptibility/resistance GO:0019830, cadmium sensitivity/resistance GO:0019831, chromate sensitivity/resistance GO:0019832, mercuric sensitivity/resistance GO:0019837, herbicide susceptibility/resistance GO:0019873, tellurium sensitivity/resistance GO:0019880, bacteriocin susceptibility/resistance GO:0019881, streptomycin susceptibility/resistance GO:0045139, copper sensitivity/resistance

New terms: GO:0046677 response to antibiotic GO:0046678 response to bacteriocin GO:0046679 response to streptomycin GO:0046680 response to DDT GO:0046681 response to carbamate GO:0046682 response to cyclodiene GO:0046683 response to organophosphorus GO:0046684 response to pyrethroid GO:0046685 response to arsenate GO:0046686 response to cadmium GO:0046687 response to chromate GO:0046688 response to copper GO:0046689 response to mercuric GO:0046690 response to tellerium
