GO:0015979 photosynthesis #8809

Closed gocentral closed 9 years ago

Please may you amend the taxon constraints for this GO ID GO:0015979 photosynthesis as it currently excludes photosynthetic algae

Changed all thylakoid/chlorphyll/photosynthesis taxon restrictions to 'never_in Metazoa' to allow for photosynthesising algae.

Did it this way rather than adding another restriction to the current 'only_in taxon union' stanzas, because many of the algae are direct children of 'Eukaryota' in the taxonomic tree, and the main point of the taxon restrictions are to ensure that animals aren't annotated with photosynthesis terms.

Also removed redundant restrictions, where a restriction is already in place for the parent.
