A new tag ‘Disease_info’ proposed to consolidate disease-related data in WormBase:

?Gene
DB_info      Database                     ?Database ?Database_field Text
Disease_info Experimental_model_for_human ?DO_term XREF Gene_by_biology #Evidence	            
             Potential_model_for_human	?DO_term  XREF	Gene_by_orthology	#Evidence
             Human_disease_relevance	?Text	#Evidence //moved from ‘structured description’ tag.

Paul D's suggestions/corrections: For the 'Disease_info' tag under ?Gene:

  • Add ?Species tag instead of 'Experimental_model_for_human' type tags, to indicate species information.

So as of 11/28/2012 we have:

?Gene
DB_info  Database ?Database ?Database_field Text//for pointing to OMIM ortholog and disease
Disease_info 	Experimental_model ?DO_term XREF Gene_by_biology   ?Species   #Evidence	            
             	Potential_model	   ?DO_term XREF Gene_by_orthology ?Species #Evidence
             	Disease_relevance  ?Text ?Species #Evidence

For ?DO_term model:

  • Drop 'Created_by' and 'Creation_date', not useful information to import, check original source of information if needed.
  • For the 'subset' tag, follow standard procedure across models:
?DO_term
Type       GOLD
           gram-negative_bacterial_infectious_disease
           gram-positive_bacterial_infectious_disease
           sexually_transmitted_infectious_disease
           tick-borne_infectious_disease
           zoonotic_infectious_disease

Ideally this would have been UNIQUE but there are 178 DO_terms with multiple subset lines populated.

Or is there something better that maintains flexibility but controls the vocabulary better that Text

  • This tag structure isn't workable as there isn't a general DO_term tag in the ?Gene model and it's a 2:1.
?DO_term
Attribute_of         Gene_by_biology    ?Gene       XREF   DO_term 
                     Gene_by_orthology  ?Gene       XREF   DO_term
  • This is also not a permitted tag combination, you aren't allowed to build a branch off a Text/?Text tag, this might be a bug in the acedb code so I have raised a ticket with the acedb dev team, but as of now it's a show stopper, could you re-think this section.

Would this work?

  • Relationships--Could we also modify the Relationship section as the proposed tag names are new and relationships are used in multiple other classes, could you copy one of the other models as I just created some test data and had the relationship reversed because of the tag names and I wasn't being careful. We should try and re-use common tag structures, that was if there are enough of them we can move them into a Hash to simplify the models file.
