Cryptococcus NTR altered protein localization phenotype #186

Closed dianeoinglis closed 7 years ago

dianeoinglis commented 7 years ago

I would like to request the term 'protein localization phenotype' independent of the 'protein distribution phenotype'

'protein localization phenotype' 'altered protein localization phenotype'

Thank you, Diane

Hi Diane! Is there a difference between protein localization and protein distribution? I uploaded the localization terms already OMP:0005335: absence of protein localization OMP:0005333: altered protein localization OMP:0005334: presence of protein localization OMP:0005332: protein localization phenotype

This is a good question. The two terms do seem to overlap entirely but I think we should look at the GO for guidance. "Distribution" does strike me as implying a specific pattern "of localization." The usage in GO seems nearly identical.
