comparing neurolex to bbp and quantifying complete and partial overlap #27

Closed stripathy closed 9 years ago

stripathy commented 9 years ago
  1. come up with two examples, something like a bipartite graph illustrating correspondence between neurolex and BBP, choose examples well.
  2. statistics: how many terms in bbp exactly match a neurolex term, match but missing a term (like nest), etc.
  3. literature comparison: neocortex nest basket cell : term frequency nest basket cell basket cell nest cell neocortex basket cell ...

Schematic of correspondence between neurolex and BBP (A and B). C is an example showing that even BBP cell types are insufficient to fully describe some of the things in the literature, illustrating the need for a compositional feature approach.

Below is a histogram contrasting the number of missing terms per BBP entity when compared to neurolex neuron types. See this ipython notebook for code: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eyok1abbup4rfbd/neurolex_bbp_ontology_compare.ipynb?dl=0

@renaud Can you do the literature comparison for a few terms?

Excellent, thanks a lot!

Yes, I will do the literature comparison if you don't have time.
