How should we define these "knobs"?
And are these population phenotypes? Sounds like it from the names ...
d'oh, tI emant to include more information.
So knobs are highly condensed chromatin bodies formed from subtelomeric (ST-) heterochromatin. Knobs form on chromosomes 1 and 2 only from what is known so far.
I'm not sure if it is best to do it at a population level or at a cellular level. They measure it at the population level (this cell has a knob, this one doesn't). but I think it would also work at the cellular level (decreased subtelomeric chromatin condensation? synonymous to decreased knob formation?).
OK, I've done them as cell-level process terms:
normal subtelomeric chromatin knob formation FYPO:0005527 decreased subtelomeric chromatin knob formation FYPO:0005528
