completing and implimenting the term 'genetic material' #638

Closed obi-bot closed 7 years ago

obi-bot commented 11 years ago

This term has a full comments in REO. It should be moved to OBI.

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/REO\_0000826

Definition: A nucleic acid macromolecule or submolecule that is part of a cell or virion and has been inherited from an ancestor cell or virion, and/or can be replicated and inherited by its progeny.

Annotations

alternative term: genomic material, genetic nucleic acid, genomic nucleic acid

definition source: adapted from 'genetic material' class definition in OBI ExpDesign.owl

reo_requires_feedback_to: OBI - The concept of 'genetic material' was discussed in 2011 among OBI members, but a final definition or implementation was nver reached. There is a definition in OBO ExpDesign sandbox version, which was used to inform our definition and usage here. Further discussions with OBI will be required, however.

comment: 1. Genetic material here is considered as a DNA or RNA molecule that is found in a cell or virus, and capable of being replicated and inherited by progeny cells or virus. As such, this nucleic acid is either chromosomal DNA, or some replicative epi-chromosomal plasmid or transposon. Genetic material is necessarily part of some 'material genome'. 2. Genetic material need not be inherited from an immediate ancestor cell or organism (e.g. a replicative plasmid or transposon acquired through some experimental modification), but must be capable of being inherited by progeny cells or organism. 3. Genetic material necessarily bears the concretization of some genomic sequence region. However, note that this relation is not reciprocal, in that a genomic sequence region is not necessarily encoded by genetic material (ie. it can also be encoded by nucleic acids that are not heritable parts of a cell or virus, such as PCR products or synthetic oligos, where the sequence encoded represents that from the genome of some organsim)

Is this work already done in OBI? I didn't see it either in http://prul.obolibrary.org/obo/obi.owl, neither Ontobee.

Implemented 'genetic material' class in obi.owl, as per discussions in march 2013 developer calls.
