does not show when looking at ID FYPO:0001344 Ontology fission_yeast_phenotype Term name abnormal mitotic DNA replication initiation

(shouldn't it?)

It makes ontological sense that these aren't connected, because the reasoner only follows is_a links in external ontologies including GO to infer FYPO structure. In GO, of course, connections between 'process' and 'regulation of process' use regulates, not is_a, so the reasoner doesn't do anything with them.

In general I haven't manually asserted any is_a links between phenotype-affecting-process and phenotype-affecting-regulation-of-process terms. To do so seems like it would kind of imply that regulation is intrinsic to a process (in reality, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't). It would be internally consistent to handle everything the same way, and less work to keep them unconnected as they are now ;)

going to leave things unchanged for now
