ICBO_2018_8: Using Equivalence Axioms from the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology to Facilitate Phenotype and Expression Comparisons

<p>Comparisons of expression and phenotypes associated with a gene can enhance the understanding of gene function. These comparisons can be difficult to make due to differences in the ontologies used to annotate the data. Using equivalence axioms in the Mammalian Phenotype (MP) ontology and mappings between Uber-anatomy (UBERON) and EMAPA terms MGI has implemented gene expression + phenotype comparison matrices for genes in MGI. These matrices used the shared anatomical concepts between expression and phenotype ontologies to facilitate comparisons between annotations in these two domains.</p>
