New object property: cross-species analog #871

Open nicolevasilevsky opened 2 years ago

nicolevasilevsky commented 2 years ago

We need an object property for linking cross-species analogs, is there any proposal about how we should design this relation (or is there a relation already?)

It is my understanding that we already have an annotation property.

This is needed for Mondo's new proposed branch of non-human animal diseases, to relate non-human animal diseases to their human analogs (for example, feline leukemia is an analog of human leukemia) https://github.com/monarch-initiative/mondo/issues/5291

How is this different from homologous/orthologous phenotypes? I think Bryan Laraway wrote an algorithm for this?

@diatomsRcool we want to use this to relate non-human animal diseases to human diseases. I don't think we'd want to use homologous/orthologus in this case. Please see linked Mondo ticket above.
