NTR: dormancy entry/maintenance/exit of symbiont in host #7521

Closed gocentral closed 9 years ago

gocentral commented 14 years ago

Hello, another request, could you please add the three process entries

"dormancy entry of symbiont in host" DEF: Entry into a dormant state of the symbiont within the host organism "dormancy maintenance of symbiont in host" DEF: Any process by which a dormant state is maintained by the symbiont within the host organism "dormancy exit of symbiont in host" DEF: Exit from dormant state (resuscitation) of the symbiont within the host organism

Parents for all three entries would be: IS_A GO:0044114 development of symbiont in host IS_A GO:0022611 dormancy process

Example is Mycobacterium tuberculosis in macrophages, and doubtless many others

Regards, ralf

Let me add that request 2963421 is a duplicate of this, or vice-versa. In any case, it has references, if that's what is missing. Another synonym for this process would be non-replicating persistence (NRP).

Added new terms:

entry into dormancy by symbiont in host ; GO:0085014 dormancy maintenance of symbiont in host ; GO:0085015 dormancy exit of symbiont in host ; GO:0085016

I wasn't sure whether to add a parent term for these: dormancy of symbiont in host. These 3 could then be its parts.

Thanks. I would use such a part_of parent, if you add it, when we don't know if a null mutant missing the dormancy ability can't start or can't maintain it. If such usage is in line with such an entry, I'm all for it.

Regards,
