A Comparative mapping resource ONTOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION IN GRAMENE http://www.gramene.org Pankaj Jaiswal Cornell University Acknowledgements Leonore Reiser Sue Rhee Tanya Berardini Leszek Vincent Mary Polacco Toby Kellogg Peter Stevens Yukiko Yamazaki Nori Kurata Michael Ashburner Midori Harris Dom Paolillo Jr. Richard Bruskiewich Graham McLaren What is an Ontology ? An Ontology is a glossary of keywords arranged in a structured order or a network, and the organization is based on biological concepts. This structure is a type of hierarchy that reflects biological concepts and relationships. The nodes at the top (“root”) of the tree are more general cases, and the more specific terms are at the bottom (“leaves”) of the structure. Ontology Types In Gramene we have ontologies that are organized around three different types of biological concepts. •Gene Ontology (GO) describes a protein/gene's biochemical properties • Molecular Function (e.g. transporter, enzyme) • Role in a Biological Process (e.g. photosynthesis, defense response) • Localization in a Cellular Component (e.g. plastid, cell wall) •Plant Ontology (PO) describes where and when a protein, gene or phenotype is expressed • In a Plant Anatomy (e.g. panicle, flower, xylem, phloem) • At a Growth Stage (e.g. germination, embryo development) •Trait Ontology (TO) describes the observable features that are assayed to determine the phenotype. • Plant traits (e.g. leaf color, plant height, disease resistance) Anatomy concept Each 'child term' has a unique relationship to its 'parent term'. Instance of (is a type of): Used to describe the relationship between a child term and a more general parent term. For example: a caryopsis is a type of fruit; a panicle is a type of inflorescence. Part of: Used to indicate the relationship between a child term that is a part of the parent term. For example: the ectocarp is a part of the pericarp, which in turn is part of the fruit. Develops from: Used to describe the relationship between a child term that develops from its parent term. For example: a seed coat (testa) develops from the integuments; a leaf develops from a leaf primordium.

How to build associations? Ontology Uses • The vocabularies/keywords (ontology) are used to annotate: •Molecular characteristics of a protein and/or gene. •Tissue specific expression profile of a gene or phenotype •Observable feature (trait) assayed to determine a phenotype • These annotations (associations) are recorded in databases such as Gramene. • These keywords help in searching your favorite gene/protein/phenotype • Can help find your favorite gene/phenotype and also discover other functional or phenotypic homologs How to find your favorite gene product (protein) ? Click “Ontology” on the Gramene navigation bar Select “Gene Ontology” Type your query e.g. search for function alpha-amylase in Gene Ontology Click here for more help on Ontology Suggests the type of experiments carried out to ascertain its function.

TAS: Traceable Author Statement IAGP: Inferred from association between genotype and phenotype How to find your favorite phenotype expressed at a given growth stage ? Type your query e.g. search for plant growth stage germination in Plant Ontology Select “Plant Ontology” Follow the search results by selecting the term e.g.“germination” in rice (GRO:0007051). Display / download all associations to view associated phenotypes. How to find your favorite phenotype by trait association ? C. Hit Search button A. Type your query e.g. search for plant trait plant height B. Select “Trait Ontology” The assayed trait When was it assayed ? Where was it assayed ? What else can YOU do? • Send us your review of the terms, definitions and relationships to ensure accuracy. • Suggest new terms, definitions, or improvements to the structures. • Use the terms in describing data in publications and databases. • If your project on cereal plants is generating data sets that may require these kinds of annotations and associations, please feel free to reach us at [email protected]. We will be happy to help you guide through the annotation process.
